Build a school for 100 Maasai children in Tanzania

Dear Friends,

It gives us great pleasure to share with you all just what a concrete impact all your generous assistance has made in Kiruru over the last year. We have been humbled by your support over the last 12 months, with donations big and small coming in for this tiny community in Northern Tanzania.

Please take a look through the photos below to see what a massive difference they have made. The community leaders - and especially the mothers in the sub-village - have used your support to raise further matching funds themselves to achieve a remarkable amount. Last year finished with their new primary school standing, with one un-finished and unfurnished classroom, and an admin office which doubled as a space for the pre-school. The community were still having to pay their new teacher to come in each day by motorbike!

With your support, they have build and finished a second classroom, are smartening the first and equipping it with new desks, and have almost finished a structure that will house two teachers locally in their village. With two classrooms, they can now teach up to 4 year-groups at the school, meaning that the children in those classes no longer need to make the arduous and dangerous 5 mile (each way!) walk to the next-nearest primary school.

If you would like to share this project and this report with your friends and families, please do so. If ever you wondered what practical difference your support here can make, and what it can catalyse in the communities concerned, this project is a great example. We, and the whole community of tiny Kiruru in Tanzania, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and wish you a very Happy New Year 2024.

Best regards

Bernie
