Located in Palm Beach County, Florida, Toil Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission of helping the people of Tanzania, East Africa, become self-sufficient through education, resources and support.
With a dedicated Irish Pallottine missionary priest at the helm, Toil began in the 1990’s as a group of family and friends in both the United States and Ireland.
Toil is nondenominational. Although there are many religions in Tanzania including Catholic, Christian, Lutheran, Evangelical and Muslim plus tribal religions, the people are helped because of their needs and not their faith. Every cent of every donation goes directly to Toil Foundation and helping the poor in Tanzania.
Donations are most appreciated and used to feed the poor, get medical held for the sick, take the sick and injured to the hospital, help pregnant women with medical care in the mother/child clinic, care for and feed children, assist the elderly, and bury the dead. Villagers in the bush suffer from hunger, disease, and lack of food and water, and live in extreme poverty. There are minimal roads and electricity is infrequent.
In this area in East Tanzania, Mt. Kilimanjaro sits majestically, with a landscape filled with giraffes, lions, hyenas, hippopotami and more.
The Nangwa Project was Toil’s first project, and was completed several years ago. The Nangwa Vocational School, dormitories, dispensary and mother/child clinic were all built in Nangwa. The Medical Missionaries of Mary took over the overseeing of the mother/child clinic.
It was then time to move 11 miles to the village of Mogitu. The government of Tanzania had donated 100 acres of forest land (bush) for this second project. The Mogitu Project includes the building of a vocational training center, community center, mother/child clinic, dispensary, mission house and church. The Mogitu Project currently takes care of the daily needs of the impoverished villagers.
