With your help, our dream is to help some African children by raising money for our project in Tanzania, where we are entering into partnership with the Ministry of Education to construct a secondary school at Miono in the Bagamoyo District.  The Government does not have sufficient funds to build the number schools the country needs and the existing schools are in a very bad state of repair and poorly maintained. In addition to the clear shortage of classrooms, many of the schools don’t have basic facilities such as libraries and laboratories.

The new school will initially provide for 12 classes of 30 students, 2 blocks of laboratories, a library and a computer room. The residential facilities will comprise 7 blocks of dormitories, dining hall /kitchen, sick bay and housing facilities for teachers. There will also be sports facilities including athletics, football, basketball, handball, volleyball and netball.

SATW is making available around €800,000 towards the project from its resources and plans to continue to support the school over the coming years.
