Empowering Through Education
The Foundation for Tomorrow (TFFT) is a dynamic non-government organization focused on addressing vulnerability through the lens of education. Through our comprehensive Scholarship and Teacher Training programs, we work to transform the education landscape in Tanzania.

Specifically, we provide a comprehensive scholarship program that includes tuition and boarding, personalized developmental guidance, life skills education, health and psychosocial support, and opportunities to support their future. We engage systematically with key actors within the education and social welfare sectors to address issues that exacerbate children’s vulnerability. We invest in teachers as catalysts for change, equipping them with skills, knowledge, and confidence to transform their classrooms and communities. Our newly established TFFT Learning Center further expands our reach, providing the public with access to opportunities for personal and professional development and fostering lifelong learning through its various components that include a library, a training facility, Computer Lab, an early literacy hub, a higher education and scholarship advising center, and an entrepreneurship incubator.
