Fixing a Bridge,
Building a
Water Pipe,

2. Our town of Moshi gets a lot of rain because we
are close to Mount Kilimanjaro.
Moshi in April and May has
“monsoons” which means it
rains in buckets with thunder
and lightning. Very loudly.

3. Our life in Moshi is much
different than in Silicon
Valley
We have Goats
and Chickens in
the backyard of
our house on
2-acres

4. 15 miles west of Moshi is a desert. It looks like Nevada.
Without rain it is hard to grow your own food.
Tanzanians who live there don’t have much food or water.

5. The Bridge to Kimashuku
and
Mlima Shabaha School
Water Pipe & Lunch Program

6. The Bridge to
Kimashuku
Located over the
Weruweru River, west
of Moshi.
The bridge was
collapsing because the
wood was
rotting.
Villagers need the
bridge to go to market
to get supplies.

7. Tate wanted to
“Save the Bridge to Kimashuku”
Tate raised
$6011 to buy
new wood
beams to
prevent it
from
collapsing

9. Repairs 90% complete. Need metal reinforcements to
fix “sagging.” To be performed in summer after rains.

10. Mlima Shabaha School
150 Students. The school does not have water,
electricity or lunch for the students.

11. Reid raised $3031 to install a water pipe for the school.

12. The Pipe is being installed in June 2015

15. Mlima Shabaha School Lunch
Sam chose to buy corn & beans for 150 kids for lunch
for a year.
He raised $2298 – enough to fund lunch for 2 years

16. Mlima Shabaha
School Students
in Class
The corn and beans for
the lunches are stored
in metal drums

17. Sam will continue to raise money every year for the
next five years to buy the students corn & beans for
lunch.

20. How did they do it?
 Wrote letters to friends (in English & German)
 Youtube videos about the Bridge, the Pipe and
Lunch
 Crowdfunding campaigns online
 Tate asked his school in Silicon
Valley for help.
Tate’s school raised $1200 in a
bake sale
Over 60 individuals donated on
their crowdfunding websites
Reid, Tate and Sam raised $11,340 in 2 months.

21. Students from
German-
American Intl
School

22. Silicon Valley Family Travels 10,000
Miles, Launches bridgepipelunch.org to
Benefit Moshi, Tanzania
A Silicon Valley family traveled to Moshi,
Tanzania in January for six-months to
study abroad, learn Swahili, and to fulfill
their desire to find a project that could
benefit the local community. Five months
and five projects later, their enthusiasm
keeps growing. MENLO PARK, Calif. and
MOSHI, Tanzania May 18, 2015
Menlo Park Students Raise
More than $13,000 for
Impoverished Community in
Tanzania in Tandem with
Bridgepipelunch.org
Five months into studying
abroad in Tanzania, Sam, Reid
and Tate Vaughan have raised
more than $13,000 for urgently-
needed projects near
Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. MENLO

Tanzania May 26, 2015

23. The Neighboring School also needed help
Our Family looked for others at home

24. Sanya Station Shule’s roof
caved in the 3rd grade
classroom.
A Silicon Valley Family
funded the repair.

25. Sanya Station Shule’s 500
Students did not eat
during the school day.
Nativity School in Menlo
Park raised $9,025

26. The surrounding area beyond Kimashuku, Mlima
Shabaha and Sanya Station also need help
So our family started a nonprofit to link others from
Silicon Valley to the Kilimanjaro area
