bibi1.jpg The Bibi Jann School with the Bibi Jann Children’s Care Trust in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania provides primary school education for children up to fifth grade. Students receive two meals a day in addition to medical and dental care. Dartmouth students help both with the school and with the Grandma-to-Grandma project, a program that aids grandmothers to support their grandchildren who have been orphaned by AIDS. The Grandma-to-Grandma project seeks to help the grandmothers become self-sufficient through community mobilization, business skill training, and support for craft sales and other small business ventures.
