My Travel Story

In April 2026, I will be travelling to Tanzania to volunteer in a childcare program supporting children from underprivileged communities.

As an Early Childhood Educator in Australia, caring for and educating children is something very close to my heart. I have always believed that every child deserves love, safety and learning opportunities.

During my time in Tanzania, I will be assisting in local childcare settings where resources are extremely limited. I will be supporting daily routines, play-based learning, and most importantly, providing care and attention to children who need it most.

This fundraiser is not for my travel. Every dollar donated will go directly towards resources for the children and the childcare centres I will be working in.

Donations will be used to purchase:
• Books, pencils, paper and learning materials
• Art, craft and play resources
• Hygiene items
• Clothing and shoes for children
• A resource kit that will remain with the centre after I leave

Even small donations can buy pencils for a classroom, soap for children, or books for learning - things we don’t think twice about, but make a world of difference there.

More than anything, your support helps me leave something meaningful and lasting behind for these children.

Thank you for supporting this journey and helping make a difference in these children’s lives.
