We write to you with a heavy heart. Precious Project has been our “miracle come true” these past ten years. We have watched the original nine children who live in the residential home blossom into young adults with great promise. Our primary school offers a first-rate education and hope for 343 children who might not otherwise see the inside of any school.
But now, by order of the Tanzanian president, all schools are closed indefinitely and students are home with their families. We are concerned that our students, who have placed the school as #1 in our district, will lose the academic gains that they have earned through their hard work.
The UN World Food Programme has declared that the African continent is on the verge of a starvation pandemic. We have shifted gears for now and are providing emergency food to our students and their families.

Precious Pandemic Response
We continue to pay salaries to all our staff throughout this crisis. Our costs remain the same. We need your help.
We have learned from this pandemic that time is of the essence - it is a matter of life or death. Please help our children by giving as generously as you are able.
Thank you,
