About The Baobab Home
Karibu sana (welcome in Swahili)!The Baobab Home is a small, community-focused NGO located on a 12 acre farm. Our mission is to educate the children of Bagamoyo and build a strong global community. We envision a more connected world, one student at a time. Through a range of programs, including an English-medium primary school, an organic farm, a breakfast program, and general outreach work in the community, our approach is holistic. We take into account the various social, economic, and psychological aspects of disadvantaged situations, in order to come up with sustainable solutions. We're a registered 501(c)(3) organization in the USA and a registered foreign NGO in Bagamoyo, Tanzania. |
Welcome to our 'shamba'In 2008 we were given an unsolicited donation from two donors in California that enabled us to purchase 12 acres of beautiful, arable land about 5 km outside of Bagamoyo town. Today it is the center of The Baobab Home where we raise organic fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, cows, goats, and a living laboratory for our primary school Steven Tito Academy. The kids are growing up safely, and close to nature where they can learn how we grow and use food for nutrition. The farm also allows us to be more self-sufficient, which provides a better life for the Baobab family. Welcome to our 'shamba' (farm in Swahili)! |
Gratitude Celebration 2022At the end of 2022, we hosted our second annual Gratitude Celebration. We took the opportunity to pause and share our gratitude for all the blessings the year has brought with all our friends around the world. It was a special celebration this year as our Board was on the shamba to celebrate in person and we also dedicated our new assembly hall, Monahan Hall. |
