COMPRION Management believes in a good cause and feels the need to help others who are less fortunate. In the past year, our Managing Directors contributed to different projects in Tanzania.
The Protestant Church of Paderborn, COMPRION’s hometown, has a partnership with the north west district Kusini B of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. One of the common projects is an education fund which enables children to attend a secondary school. Other than the primary school, the four years of secondary schools in Tanzania are not free of charge. Many families cannot afford to pay for
school fees, books, uniforms, etc. The partnership communities in Paderborn and Kusini B strongly believe that Tanzanian children should have the opportunity to qualify for higher education by attending secondary school.

In another project, the Orphan Fund of TAHEA (Tanzanian Home Economics Association) cares for children who have lost their parents to AIDS. Women in the town of Mwanza want the orphans to remain in their native village. They take them up in their families and care for their schooling, because they don’t want them to go into an orphanage after the grief of losing their parents. Occasionally, they also care for the orphan’s grandparents.
