National Examination Day at Mwaji Secondary School

National examinations are a part of the Tanzanian educational process.  We are very proud of these orphan students for trying to overcome adversity.  And they are well on their way with an education.

Marilynn Primary and Nursery School Books!

Donors recently funded the purchase of textbooks for the orphans at the Marilynn Primary and Nursery School.  First, the kids are thrilled.  Then the Headmaster, Wilfred, reported that the learning and performance of reading and mathematics has increased.  Yes, children learn better when they have books to read in their subjects.

From the Road to the Dormitory

The girl’s dormitory is viewed from the mud road below.  There are many orphans who are looking forward to living here in the future.  It still won’t be enough room.  We already have 130 students at the Mwaji Secondary School and we have about 60-70% girls.  And we love our girls!

Girls’ Dormitory Rising

The girls’ dormitory at the Mwaji Secondary School is rising from the ground!  Imagine living in Bujela in this dormitory as a young orphan girl.  Monkeys are swinging in the trees and school is next door!

Mwaji Secondary Girls’ Dormitory

These red bricks assembled with cement will stand for decades.  The orphan girls who will eventually live here will be safe and have their own place.  Being an orphan girl on the street or having to live from place to place as circumstances change is not conducive to education or development.  Just think of the thousands of orphans that can be served over the decades.  See what you donors are doing!
