Arrow Employees Expand Support for Tuleeni Orphanage Through Holiday Giving

Arrow Electronics donated more than $8,000 this past holiday season to the Arrow Scholars Fund, a scholarship program launched by Arrow employees to benefit students at the Tuleeni Orphanage in Africa.

Tuleeni is home to more than 100 orphaned or vulnerable children living in the village of Rau, in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. In 2015, donations by Arrow employees provided scholarship support for five students. The additional funds raised over the 2016 holiday season will enable these same children to continue in their studies, as well as access the orphanage’s educational resources.
