OUR ORIGIN
Founded by Esther Alfred Liukal, FOCAYO was born from a vision to see every Tanzanian child thrive. We work hand-in-hand with schools, communities, and development partners to improve wellbeing through education, skills development, and reproductive health awareness.
"Our goal is simple but bold: to remove every barrier — be it a lack of a sanitary pad, a safe bed, or a school book — that stands between a child and their dreams."
