Our Impact, By the Numbers

At Moshi Kids Centre, we believe our supporters deserve real numbers, not just a compelling story. This page is our single source of truth for our impact—the numbers you’ll see here are the same numbers we use internally, and we update this page (not our other blog posts) whenever they change. If you see a different figure anywhere else on our site or social channels, this page is the one to trust.

At a Glance

Moshi Kids Centre self-reported every figure above, reflecting our program records as of the “last updated” date. We’re a locally registered, donor-funded initiative, not an independently audited charity, so we’re telling you plainly where these numbers come from rather than dressing them up as third-party verified.

Who We Serve

Moshi Kids Centre provides free early childhood education, daily meals, and holistic care for orphaned and vulnerable children aged 3–6 in Pasua, Moshi, at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. Since opening, our core early-childhood program has grown from a small handful of children into one of the larger community-based early-education initiatives in the Kilimanjaro region.

Beyond the center itself, we also run a broader nutrition and outreach program that supports children across a wider network of local schools—this is a separate figure from our core enrollment number, and we’ve listed both above to keep the two clearly distinct.

What Your Support Provides

• Free early childhood education — a structured curriculum covering reading, writing, numeracy, and English language foundations for children aged 3–6
• Daily nutritious meals — for many children, the most consistent meal they receive
• Clothing and hygiene supplies
• Emotional support — play therapy, mentorship, and counseling for children from difficult or unstable backgrounds
• Family engagement — parent workshops and community meetings that extend our impact beyond the classroom

Where We’re Headed

We’ve publicly committed to reaching 1,000 children by 2026, alongside plans to expand digital learning tools and sponsorship capacity. We’ll update this page with progress on our goal and report honestly on any setbacks or timeline changes, not only the positive news.

Our Commitment to Transparency

Every donation, sponsorship, and volunteer hour supports the programs described above. If you’ve read a different number for “how many children we serve” somewhere else on our site, blog, or social media, treat this page as the current, correct figure—we’re in the process of updating older posts to link back here rather than restate their numbers, precisely so this doesn’t happen again.

If you have questions about our numbers, our programs, or how your donation is used, contact us directly — we’re glad to explain exactly where a figure comes from.
