working towards a brighter future
One child at a time.
Many of us have grown up in areas where education is a right, not a privilege. We are expected to learn how to read, write, and ultimately integrate into society. However, such is not the case in Tanzania. Most children can only dream of having access to even a basic education.
Here at Team Nelson, we believe in the pursuit of happiness through education. Our mission is to send orphaned and underprivileged children to school where they will receive not only a great education, but also access to basic healthcare needs and nutritious food.
Most importantly, they will be surrounded by love and security. Our singular purpose is to ensure that each and every one of these children knows that they are not alone and they are not forgotten. We want the Team Nelson children to know that they are part of a team and that we are all in this together, working towards a brighter future.
We are Team Nelson.
“There is a saying that if you want to invest for one year, you just need to buy the luxury thing and whatever, if you want to invest for 10 years, you plant trees, but if you want to invest for 100 years, you educate people.”

what sets us apart
As we grow, we are continuing to provide that one to one care and support for each child.
Nearly 10% of the children in Tanzania are orphaned.
Team Nelson’s goal is to impact each child, one child at a time and hope that the effects of that are felt across Tanzania a generation from now.
