The "Be the Change Project" began in 2007 by Jeff Britton and Jenny Walker. The 2010 fundraising campaign will see all donated money going directly toward projects at Orkeeswa Secondary School, most specifically toward the purchase of livestock and farming supplies which will be used for Orkeeswa's sustainable agriculture projects to supply both food and revenue for the school!

Orkeeswa Secondary School opened on April 14th, 2008 in Lashaine Village, Tanzania. Tanzania is recognized as one of the least developed nations worldwide, with only 7% of Tanzanians having the opportunity to complete secondary school. Orkeeswa is Lashaine Village's first secondary school, developed by the Indigenous Education Foundation of Tanzania (IEFT), a grass roots non-profit organization. The organization strives to preserve the past while ensuring the future through education. There are currently 80 students at Orkeeswa, each with a genuine desire to learn and better themselves and their community. With their education they want to help their poverty-stricken village grow and survive, as it is estimated that over 50% of Lashaine Village is infected with HIV/AIDS.

The time is now to "Be the Change!"
