Mission: Mainsprings (formerly known as The Janada L. Batchelor Foundation for Children) is dedicated to alleviating extreme rural poverty in Tanzania, East Africa. We take a holistic approach to change by providing refuge for abused and abandoned girls, primary, secondary and vocational education, access to healthcare, and economic development through agriculture.
Results: In less than a decade, Mainsprings has gone from a handful of acres to a 70-acre holistic campus. We provide a home to 56 girls who were once abandoned and abused. We opened Joseph & Mary Schools in 2010, enrolling 400 primary and secondary students. Joseph & Mary Schools are ranked in the top 3.5% of schools in Tanzania. Our farm now provides more than 400 pounds of produce a week. Mainsprings serves about 200,000 meals a year. More than 100 volunteers visit our flagship s campus in Kitongo, Tanzania every year. We are also expanding to a second campus in Tanzania.
Target demographics: alleviate extreme poverty
Direct beneficiaries per year: 56 residential girls, 400 students, and employment for 70 people
Geographic areas served: Tanzania, East Africa
Programs: refuge for vulnerable girls, primary and secondary education, access to healthcare, and economic development through agriculture.
