Mtwara is one of Tanzania's poorest regions and lagging far behind the development of the rest of Africa. A lot of families can't afford education for their children. We all know that there are clear linkages between education and poverty reduction.

Holmquist Foundation was founded in 2006 by Ingemar Holmquist and his cousin Hilding Holmqvist. Today the foundation is run, besides Ingemar, by his daughter Christel and her sons, his wife Gertrud and cousin Hilding who's been the main supporter since the very beginning.

The fund has given a chance to a better life for many young people in Mtwara but the need is still big. We take no administrative fees, every donated penny goes 100 % to the school fees and building a new school. Join the Holmquist family for a good cause!
