The children to whom the financial aid will be destined attend the Blue Sky School, located in Nambala, a small town 22 km from the city of Arusha, in Tanzania. The high school, founded in January 2015 by the Tahude Foundation, already has all the infant and primary grades. University students come every summer as volunteers to high school, playing a very important role in its rapid growth: painting the classrooms and dormitories with cheerful motifs, building a playground with swings, managing on the ground and financing with crowdfunding campaigns the installation of running water, a kitchen and ten latrines, among others.
