About TanSAO!!
TanSAO is a NGO created to provide a varied number of services for young people and their families in Tanzania. Currently our main focus is in serving as a resource center to assist secondary school students in finding, preparing for, and acquiring admission to top worldwide. We also work with them to identify and apply for financial aid when needed. The organization’s resource center provides free access to university materials and information, as well as assists students with the registration for SAT, SAT Subject, TOEFL and ACT exams. Once registered for the exams through the organization, students are then provided with free practice exam materials, as well as access to exam preparation courses, which focus on English grammar and writing skills.
