About this experience

By participating in a Social Impact Tour through The Small Things, you are truly making an impact. The small donation that we ask for, goes 100% directly to our children, families, and programs. None goes towards administrative fees or salaries. For example, $10 can pay for art supplies for a class at the daycare. $25 can feed one of our children for two weeks. $75 can help an outreach family start a business. $200 can cover all of the living costs for a child for a month in residential care. This is a unique opportunity to help us help vulnerable children and families in Tanzania. Your donation has a REAL impact.
