About Africompassion
Lifting Children Out of Poverty
Africompassion is focused on lifting children out of poverty by providing them with clean water and a quality education that will allow them to go to high school, college and university. We sponsor a pre-primary and primary school in Kogaja, an impoverished village in the Mara region of Tanzania, about 30 miles away from Lake Victoria on the Kenyan border. We eventually will build a secondary school also.
​
We work with families and children in Tanzania, Africa to help them rise out of poverty by providing clean water, education, medical care and helping them become self-reliant, one person, one family and one village at a time.
​
Africompassion USA was started by Steve Whitehouse in November 2021. In October 2021, Steve met Jerald Malamba through April Van Tassell a mutual friend. Jerald is the founder of Africompassion Organization, a non-profit / NGO registered in Tanzania in 2019. Jerald had been working for many years in Kogaja and the surrounding area to help impoverished children through education and food assistance before registering Africompassion Organization with the Tanzanian government.
