Bethel partners with Iringa, Tanzania churches, Cathedral, Wilolesi and Nyamihuu. This partnership includes periodic trips to the area, visits to Bethel from Tanzanians.

Tanzania Scholarship

Thank you for the contributions received in the past for the Tanzania Scholarship Fund.  Because of your generosity, at least 30 students per year at our partner congregations, Cathedral, Wilolesi and Nyamihuu, receive assistance with their school expenses.  On each visit to Iringa, Bethel members meet with sponsored students, who offer their gratitude and prayers to all members of Bethel. 

The scholarship for each student is $450/year, however, donations in any amount are welcome.  Contributions are held in the scholarship fund at Bethel and the number of students sponsored depends on the money in the fund.  Your donation can be made by check, payable to Bethel Lutheran Church.  Please make a note on the check that it is for the Tanzania Scholarship Fund, and mail it to, or drop it off at, Bethel Lutheran Church, 920 Third St, Hudson WI  54016.  Donations are also accepted online for the Tanzania Scholarship Fund.
