Help us raise $1500 to plant a fruit garden and fence at Satino's new primary school in Arusha, Tanzania! 🌱

Every tree planted will help create a greener, healthier, and more welcoming environment where children can learn, play, and grow.

And with a donation of $15 or more, you can leave your name in Satino's garden! 💚

🌍 What is Satino?

Satino is a small NGO based in Arusha, Tanzania, dedicated to providing children with a safe, caring, and supportive education.

Today, Satino welcomes around 50 children between the ages of 3 and 6, divided into three classes:

🧸 Baby Class: 3–4 years
🌻 Middle Class: 4–5 years
🎓 Pre-Primary Class: 6 years

At Satino, we believe education should be based on kindness, respect, creativity, and learning without violence.

We want children to feel safe expressing themselves, discovering the world, and developing their abilities through playing, caring, and sharing.

🏫 Why Are We Building a New Primary School?

Until now, after graduating from Satino's pre-school, our children have had to continue their education at other primary schools.

Unfortunately, not all of these schools share our approach to education. Some still rely on harsh discipline and teaching methods that do not provide the supportive environment we believe every child deserves.

We want to change that.

Our dream is to build a primary school where children can continue growing in the same safe, respectful, and encouraging environment they experienced at Satino.

In April 2026, we purchased the land for our new primary school, and construction has already begun!

Our goal is to welcome our first primary school class in 2027.

But we don't just want to build classrooms. We want to create a place where children can connect with nature, learn about sustainability, and enjoy spending time outdoors.

And that's where you can help!

🌱 Why Are We Raising $500?

One of our dreams is to create a beautiful fruit garden around the new school.

We want to plant different types of fruit trees and plants that will grow alongside the children, providing shade, fresh fruit, and opportunities for hands-on learning.

Over time, we hope the garden will help provide some of the fruit consumed at the school, reducing food expenses and encouraging greater self-sufficiency.

The garden will also become an outdoor classroom where children can learn about nature, agriculture, sustainability, and the importance of caring for their environment.

Our goal is to raise $1500 to help turn this vision into reality.

We are already in contact with a local plant supplier and have identified different varieties we'd love to grow.
