Matt Severson

Mission:

The $150/year tuition fee in Tanzania is an enormous financial hurdle for many, and only about 70% of high school-aged Tanzanian youth attend school. The School Fund seeks to help solve this problem by establishing a website where the Tanzanian students learn to use the internet by posting profiles which supporters around the world can use to sponsor a student or a school.

How Sparkseed helps:

“Because the School Fund centers around a website, the technological assistance Sparkseed provides, as well as the marketing and publicity expertise from Sparkseed’s network of skilled advisors, will aid us greatly in our mission of promoting education in Tanzania.”
