Our Impact

LivLife began with a simple belief:
access to education and skills can break the cycle of poverty.

For over 20 years, LivLife has partnered with communities in northern Tanzania to expand access to education and skills at KCEM (Kituo Cha Elimu Meserani – Meserani Education Centre). KCEM provides early years education, adult learning and vocational training – free for everyone. Volunteer‑run in the UK, we keep costs lean so every penny raised goes directly to our work in Tanzania.

I studied Computing and English. Through KCEM’s work experience programme, I was placed at Kisongo Stationery and now I’m employed there as a secretary. I earn enough to support both myself and my mum. KCEM made my dream come true.
