Sustain Foundation is based in Carrboro, NC, and strives to create and implement specific sustainable solutions to health and environmental issues through linking global and local community networks.
One of Sustain Foundation's initiatives is Team Sakina, a women's running club in Carrboro. Sustain Foundation uses the club fees to support programs in both the local community and globally, in Sakina.
Starting mid-June, Sustain Foundation will have an intern working in Sakina, Tanzania to conduct a health needs assessment, teach business skills to two in-country coordinators, and build upon an already existing education program that provides scholarships to secondary school children. Sakina is a community with population of about 500 located right outside Arusha, the second largest city in Tanzania. Arusha is located in northeastern Tanzania about 1 hour away from Mt. Kilimanjaro.
