Back to Tanzania!


In a few short weeks I will be back in Monduli, Tanzania with 100 of my favorite people in the world and I couldn't be more excited. 


The Indigenous Education Foundation of Tanzania (IEFT) is a community-collaborative organization, providing quality, affordable education to under-served children in rural Tanzania, East Africa. Through the organization’s collaborative model involving both village government and tribal leadership, IEFT staff members work alongside community members in the implementation of the organization’s projects. Straying from the common “aid giving” model, IEFT believes in empowering community members by providing youth with the knowledge and skills to create positive change within their own communities. Education is the key in breaking the cycle of extreme poverty.


I would love to hear from you!
If you would like to get involved or know more about how you can help with educating Maasai youth in Tanzania, contact me at quinnlbrady@gmail.com.
