The White Rose

Über uns

The White Rose is a young non-profit volunteer-driven organization, located on the North of Tanzania. We believe that education is an unspeakably powerful weapon to battle social and economic problems of Tanzania.
Our history dates back to 2005, when two activists from Moshi, Ms. Corgepta Raphael Ndaskoy and Mr. Filbert Isdor Kiondo, decided to use education as a tool to battle wide-spread prostitution in Moshi. Corgepta and Filbert established a small college of tourism and hospitality, called Matumaini Mapya. They started with 15 girls, provided them with shelter, one- year-training, profound English language classes, and afterwards, helped them get employed. Matumaini Mapya College started gaining popularity really fast. Inspired by their success, Corgepta and Filbert felt like they could contribute much more to society. In 2011, they created the White Rose non-governmental organization and brought their activist activities to a whole new level.
