About Furahia,

Our story…..

In 2018, Cosmas Ngira founded Furahia Foundation (also known as the Furahia Mtoto Foundation). The first class, consisting of 14 children, who were taught in the backyard of his parents’ home.

Furahia Mtoto Foundation (FUMFO) was founded in  2018 and officially registered as an NGO in 2019 with Registration No: ooNGO/R/842. “FURAHIA is a Swahili word which means ENJOY / HAPPY“, and “MTOTO is also a Swahili word/name which means CHILDREN“. Furahia is a Charity School which primarily operates as a daycare and pre-school that provides education, meals, and a safe learning environment for vulnerable children from underprivileged families in the Ambureni and Arusha in general.
The main objective of this organization is to act as a basic learning center / safe home to provide much needed Education and Wellbeing support to underprivileged children from ordinary families, such as Orphans, Abandoned children, and children who are being raised by single parent, Grandparents or Guardian to create a better foundation for their future lives.

Families with difficult backgrounds and economically unstable, such as single and or unemployed parents, have the opportunity to bring their children to Furahia Mtoto Foundation. Furahia offers a safe and family-friendly alternative where the children are cared for while the families have the opportunity to go to work and earn income. In addition, the children learn social behavior among their peers, receive regular meals (which are not always provided at home) and are taught English. Also, attendance at the institution is free of charge, parents do not have to pay fees.

Furahia Foundation wishes are to see Young people especially children treated with love and good care, educated, motivated,  and trained to be skillful and knowledgeable.
Our door is open to any individual, organization or Company which can cooperate with us to make better lives for these children.
