Bulati School Project
How we got started.....
In February 2007, a small group of trekkers from the US camped near the Maasai village of Bulati, Tanzania in East Africa. They were struck by the spirit of the people and their ability to make do with so little. The head teacher of the nearby school asked for help and the trekkers were hooked.
The Bulati School project was born.
Your contribution to the Bulati School Fund will help support the school and have a huge impact on the students. Checks should be made payable to Journeys of Solutions, Inc. Please note either the Bulati School Fund or the Bulati Scholarship Fund on the Memo line. Mail to Journeys of Solutions, Inc., PO Box 28, Webster, NY 14580.
Child Sponsorship Program
This vital program was created in the fall of 2009 after seeing the great need for children to have access to an English education. Journeys of Solutions is working with the Tumaini Junior school to enroll needy children at the respected English-medium school in Karatu, Tanzania. Started in 2004 by Modest and Lightness Bayo, the privately run Tumaini, has over 370 students enrolled and boasts some of the highest testing scores in the Karatu region.
The Edendale School Project
Our connections with the Edendale School began with our own “Journey of Solution,” a trip to Johannesburg, South Africa at Christmastime, 2008.Sherpa Scholarship
Sherpa Scholarship

In February 2008, in an effort to raise funds for the American Cancer Society, a group of people, Journeys of Inspiration (JOI), traveled to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain on the continent. They were accompanied by the guides and porters of the African company, Zara Travel. As the climbers began their journey it quickly became evident that the porters and guides had little of the equipment and clothing needed for the climatic changes they experienced. Before leaving for the states the JOI climbers left behind much of their own clothing and equipment for these men.
