63% of People in Rural Tanzania Believe that People with Epilepsy Can't Work

​Latest project

​

We are working to fund Winfrida's first year of nursing school. Winfrida was kicked out of elementary school because she had epilepsy. Winfrida got a second chance with a scholarship to attend secondary school and writes that she wants to take care of other people and that she wants to support her family by becoming a nurse.  Funding Winfrida's education not only helps a bright student achieve her dreams, it starts to prove that people with epilepsy can live fulfilling lives and be leaders in their communities.

​We Give People with Epilepsy a Second Chance

Central Tanzania has a high rate of epilepsy and people with the disease are often expelled from school and discriminated against when applying for jobs. A part of Provision Charitable Group, our scholarship program gives students a second chance to go to school and our vocational programs over-qualify people with epilepsy for jobs so that they may be employed in their communities.
 

​How to Help

Choose a student with epilepsy to support. Our programs give students with epilepsy a second chance at an education or vocation.
