We Need Your Help
We believe that there are 40,000 or more HIV/AIDS Orphans and other vulnerable children within the Anglican Diocese of Central Tanganyika. This problem extends throughout Tanzania, where the total number of HIV/AIDS orphans is estimated at 1.2 million.

Without parental support, these children are unable to afford the uniforms and supplies necessary to attend school. They may be ostracized from their peers and end up on the street.

Carpenter's Kids:
What does it cost?
$80 per child each year* will provide each child with:

a school uniform
a pair of shoes
socks and soap
school supplies
breakfast each school day
access to the program's urgent healthcare fund

*$65 goes directly to the care of the children, while the remaining $15 is used to cover distribution and transportation expenses.

CK logoMembers of the Cathedral have the opportunity to begin a life changing partnership with an orphan in Tanzania. Through the Carpenter’s Kids program and a pledge of $80/year for five years an HIV/AIDS orphan or other vulnerable child can be provided with a school uniform, shoes, socks, breakfast each school day and more.

The Carpenter’s Kids partnership program began in 2005 and serves to link parishes in the United States with parishes/villages in the Diocese of Central Tanganyika. In November of 2008 Bishop Alexander and Bishop Mhogolo opened the program up to include the Diocese of Atlanta and the Cathedral of St. Philip will be the first parish in Atlanta to participate.

By making the commitment to support a parish in the Diocese of Central Tanganyika for five years, you can provide 50 Carpenter's Kids with the opportunity to attend primary school. Your ministry group or organization may choose to support a DCT parish on its own, or join with other groups to support a DCT parish.
