Breaking ground for a new boys school in Tanzania

This ground breaking represents a big step forward for our programmes in Tanzania. The long term goal has always been to add a boys school to the programmes in Tanzania. Now, in addition to Kisarawe Girls School and the Kiluvya Nursery and Training Centre for women, there will be a secondary school to cater for the educational needs of poor, vulnerable boys in Tanzania.

There is very little quality education for young boys in Tanzania and so the new school will meet a desperate need for the additional provision of free, quality education to support the poorest regions. The Ministry of Education has been working closely with the Sisters to support this new school and provide guidance on establishing educational standards.

With support from our donors, the government, the archdiocese, and various groups in Tanzania, work will quickly begin on building the school in 2023. The hope is that the first 160 boys can start their secondary schooling in Dodoma by the summer.
