Stichting Dinka

Founded in 2010, Stichting Dinka is a foundation based in Voorburg, Netherlands working on education, children & youth.

Stichting Dinka is a Dutch public-benefit foundation (ANBI) that founded and supports the DINKA School, a primary school in Arusha, Tanzania. Set up in 2010 by Dutch and Tanzanian founders, it aims to provide quality education and boarding care to children from poor families, with paying pupils from wealthier families helping fund places for those who cannot pay. The foundation is run by a volunteer board, is managed from the Netherlands, and works with a Tanzanian partner foundation, Kizazi Chetu Foundation, to manage the school locally. Its sustainability plan aims for the school to become financially independent through local income. The foundation also encourages volunteering, pupil sponsorship and fundraising.
