Barry and Chris Finlay from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in January 2009 and have since raised enough money, in conjunction with Plan Canada, to provide access to clean water and classrooms for a community in Tanzania. They are now embarking on a project to help youth and women ages 15-24 in Tanzania to establish businesses. Read about their journey in their book, Kilimanjaro and Beyond. This Blog describes upcoming events and how you can help.

New project website available!
A few days ago I announced a new project that we are undertaking with Plan Canada. The website is now available for viewing and for accepting donations from anyone interested. This project will empower youth and women in Tanzania by giving them training and vocational skills so that they can establish businesses to support their families. It is a great project and the Canadian federal government will match donations 3:1!!! Please consider a donation as a Christmas gift for friends and family. Click "DONATE" under Education for Africa on the right to make a secure donation.
