Building Futures, Together
Your generosity fuels every part of Gem Legacy’s mission - from classrooms in Tanzania to tools in the hands of miners and scholarships that can change a family’s future.
This year-end campaign supports the Legacy Fund - the heartbeat of all we do. Your gift provides the steady support that keeps every program strong and growing, including:
-
Education: Supplying daily meals and materials for hundreds of students at Kitarini Primary School, awarding secondary and college scholarships, and empowering young adults through the Gem Faceting School.
-
Economic Opportunity: Equipping artisanal miners with customized toolkits and safety training so they can work with dignity and increase their earning potential.
-
Community Development: Supporting children’s homes, health and safety programs, and the construction of the new Gem Legacy Campus - a place where learning and opportunity come together.
When you give to this campaign, you’re saying yes to every student, miner, and community member we serve. You’re helping build futures - not just for today, but for generations to come.
Together, we’re creating a legacy of lasting change in East Africa’s gem mining communities.
