“Education to me is the key to success. I want to get educated because it will bring respect to me. I want to be an example in my community, so little children can see me as their role model. I’m not rich, I’m poor, but there is hope in education in that it could make you be successful in life.” –Zintathu Mfino

The Benefits of Higher Education and Community Investment:

In countries where marginalized and under-served populations from impoverished communities have significantly less opportunity to attend University, a college degree means empowerment and opportunity.

Education has been proven to lift people and communities out of poverty and those with a higher degree of education have a better of quality of life and are more poised to impact and develop their own communities.

How Much Does It Cost?

While different college and programs have varying fee structures, it costs around $5,000 a year for tuition, books, transportation, and involvement in our Community Impact Program

What Is The TNHF Community Impact Model?

These Numbers Have Faces works with the individual for the benefit of the community.

In return for their college scholarship, TNHF scholars participate in the TNHF Community Impact Program where they take part in community service projects, mentoring, tutoring, leadership & financial literacy training, and all commit to giving one year of tuition back into the program to assist a new student attend college behind them. As a TNHF Scholar, students are welcomed into a family guided by a culture of empowerment and reinvestment.

Our Community Impact Program is the difference between aid and social development. Aid is given out for free, but a program like ours costs something to the recipient. Our students receive and in turn are asked to give back. These Numbers Have Faces paves the way for a cycle of community change.
