Good Samaritan Ministries International headquarters is in Beaverton, Oregon and has more than 120 counseling centers in 30 countries. They have been in existence for 27 years. They provide schooling for orphans and children of the very poor and train counselors in all 30 countries including the United States. In the Beaverton Office they have 15 volunteer counselors and a teen peer counseling group.

In most of the countries where they work, unless their families pay for tuition, books and sup

plies children are not allowed to go to school. Wherever they work, they do not charge for any services they provide. Volunteers do at least 90 percent of the work.

Tanzania has one Good Samaritan school. It is a high school open to students of all faiths, true of all Good Samaritan Ministries schools throughout the world. Tanzania has a population of about 45 percent Christian and 45 percent Muslim. A Samaritan school can contribute to breaking barriers, reducing terrorism and encouraging healthy spiritual lives because students of all faiths study together, relate and come to understand each others.

There is an immediate need to raise money for school fees. It cost an average of $600 USD a year to educate a child in Tanzania. It requires selling many books on the Internet to send a child to school.
