The Venance Care Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental organization (NGO) which was founded by Venance Mark Shayo in March 2014. After facing several hardships in his life due to a serious accident, Venance always dreamt of helping children from difficult backgrounds or children with disabilities. Children from poor families are often not able to attend school due to school fees the parents can not pay for. Children with disabilities face stigmatization and rarely get the support they need.

The Venance Care Foundation follows its mission to assist children living in difficult or poor environments, children who suffer from HIV as well as disabled children. Therefore the main idea is to help in the most simple and long lasting way: in affordable education. In order to enable parents to work during the day, the Foundation provides preschool education for children between the age of three and five years. Since malnutrition poses a large health risk for children in Tanzania, the Venance Care Foundation provides a daily meal to its children.
