In Honor of Tom’s Memory

At Roof of Africa USA Inc., we are deeply heartbroken by the loss of our beloved president, Tom Zierk. Tom was more than a leader; he was the cornerstone of our mission and a true visionary. His unwavering commitment and compassion made Roof of Africa USA Inc. a reality, and his legacy will continue to inspire and guide us.

Tom’s impact on our organization and the lives we serve is immeasurable. As our first president, he brought together friends, family, and his community to help form and fully incorporate Roof of Africa USA Inc. With his leadership, we embarked on a mission to build schools in the remotest areas of Africa, bringing hope and education to children in need. His dream was to break the cycle of poverty and give every child the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, including attending university.

Continuing Tom’s Vision: Keeping the dream alive

In Tom’s honor, we are committed to keeping his dream alive. We invite you to join the incredible Tom’s family, friends, and community to raise funds in Honor of Tom’s Memory that will go directly toward:

  • Completing and furnishing existing school to create better learning environments.

  • Establishing a library filled with donated books in Tom’s memory, providing access to knowledge and resources for generations of children.

These schools and initiatives will stand as a lasting testament to Tom’s dedication to education and his belief in the transformative power of learning.

Your monthly contribution of $100 can make a significant difference in the lives of students in Tanzania by helping us build much-needed classrooms and construct concrete floors. This investment ensures that our students have a cleaner, safer, and more accessible learning environment, free from the challenges posed by mud and inadequate facilities. By providing a conducive place to study, you are directly impacting their ability to learn and thrive.

Building classrooms with concrete floors not only improves hygiene and safety but also enhances the overall educational experience.

The benefits of such improvements extend beyond the classroom, fostering a sense of pride and motivation in the entire community.

Every dollar you contribute is a step towards eradicating poverty through education. Research shows that improved educational facilities lead to better student outcomes and long-term economic benefits for the community. With your help, we can continue to build and upgrade our schools, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
