Sponsoring Children
You are aware that Provision Charitable Foundation is working with Chalice foundation, the large Catholic charity headquartered in Nova Scotia, at Luhombero to coordinate our projects, along with Dalhousie university. As part of that, we have committed to raising support for 100 children at Luhombero. Chalice needs a minimum number of supported children to fully commit resources to the area. Although at this point, with 85 children already sponsored, they are moving ahead on the assumption we will get to 100.
You can help.

ABOUT US
Provision Charitable Foundation finds its roots in the work of Dr. Louise Jilek-Aall. Discovering that the people of the Wapogoro tribe, in the Mahenge mountains of the Ulanga district, suffered from an unusually high prevalence of epilepsy and never received medical treatment, she started the Mahenge Epilepsy Clinic in 1960, to serve the epileptic patients in that region.
Ken and Nancy travelled to Tanzania in 2009 and witnessed the life work of Dr. Louise Jilek-Aall. The inspiration provided was the beginning of Provision Charitable Foundation.
Today Provision Charitable Foundation continues to strive to improve the lives of people living in the region.
