Vwawa Boarding School

The Vwawa Boarding School for Orphans will include a school, dormitories, house for the headmaster, caretaker’s cottage, lavatories, well, office, and more. The community is committed to making the red-mud bricks themselves and contributing their labor toward the building of the walls. OA will provide concrete floors, concrete mortar, tin roofs, money to dig the well, plus school equipment and supplies.

Because the land grant is so large, orphans will be able to raise their own livestock and farm the land, learning animal husbandry and sustainable farming practices in addition to their regular school studies. Orphans will be able to sell farm products, such as eggs and milk and produce. Any unused land can be leased out to farmers to provide additional income for the school. OA anticipates that this self-sustainable boarding school will positively affect the lives of hundreds of orphans in the years to come, from nursery school age through secondary school.

Approximately one-third of the children in this remote region of Tanzania are orphans.
