Outcome 2012: A graduate builder.  In January 2012 we visited Ambrose at his mother’s  and one room mud house  and congratulated him on his graduation  and builders certificate.  At the time Ambrose was trying to decide whether to accept a job locally, building a new church, or to travel to Arusha and begin working in construction with his brother at higher pay level.  KSF Tuition Project offered to loan Ambrose start up money to purchase tools he would need to start work. In March 2012 we heard he had chosen to work in Arusha and had not accepted the loan offer.   We wish him good luck and will try to visit him in Arusha next January to see his progress.
