Making a difference, one person, one community at a time.

The One Person Project (Okanagan) is a grass roots organization committed to establishing an enduring connection with the citizens of Kahama, Tanzania.
One Person co-founder Brenda Lowe wanted to make a difference and bridge the divide between Canada and Africa and discovered that others in the Okanagan were prepared to do more than just talk.

Kahama Library Project.
Thank you to everyone who has donated in any way to the Kahama Library.

A forty-foot shipping container in the Wal-Mart Penticton parking lot has been filled with books and other essential items and will be retrofitted as a functional library once it arrives in Kahama, Tanzania.

 The forty foot shipping container is on its way with over 16,000 books! An amazing achievement which will transform many lives now and in the future.
Thanks to the people of B.C. we have raised the $25,000 required to ship and set up the library at  the Korogwe Primary School, Kahama! See the latest photographs on facebook

As well as books the shipping container is carrying school resources, sewing machines, soccer equipment, gardening tools and medical equipment - including hospital beds, bedding and wheelchairs. Also 65 families will be receiving plastic totes filled with gifts and essential items.
