Vocational Training in Tanzania
The Dogodogo Training Center in Tanzania provides vocational training to homeless children, helping them become self-sufficient adults. To accommodate 70 additional students, the center requires urgent renovations for two dormitories.
The useful part before the long read.
Tanzania ranks 69th in quality of life despite economic growth, leaving youth with uncertain futures.
The Dogodogo Training Center has trained over 1,350 homeless children in trades like carpentry and tailoring.
Renovations for two dormitories are needed to house an additional 70 students.
The project requires $32,000 total ($16,000 per dormitory) and will take 4 months per dormitory.
The Challenge in Tanzania
Despite low inflation rates, high growth rates and a promising tourism industry, Tanzania ranks sixty-ninth in terms of quality of life. The country’s youth face an uncertain job market, and, therefore, an uncertain future.
Impact of the Dogodogo Training Center
For fifteen years, the Dogodogo Training Center has promoted literacy, provided sustenance and sheltered orphans and other neglected children. Entering as homeless children, over 1,350 people have emerged as carpenters, tailors, electricians, fire-fighters and other productive, self-sufficient members of society. Collectively, they are the architects of a more stable future for Tanzania.

Expansion and Renovation Needs
To further fuel that growth, the Center expects to increase the number of children in the program, but currently, the Center cannot accommodate those children. To meet the needs of the incoming students and properly provide them with practical skills, the Dogodogo Center requires renovations. Two dormitories must be renovated in order to accommodate an additional 70 students.
- Renovation of the first dormitory for 35 students.
- Duration of the project: 4 months
- Project budget: $ 16,000
- Renovation of the second dormitory for 35 students.
- Duration of the project: 4 months
- Project Budget: $ 16,000
