Nurseries, schools, students...

Supporting nurseries, schools and the pupils themselves is one of our main goals. Our main aim is to provide material aids, notebooks, stationery, or other equipment to improve and enable learning. We help pupils to pay school fees , to buy school equipment like bags, shoes and the making of uniforms.  However, we also supply schools with maize and flour and other necessities.

The first nursery we have included in our project is the Kikavu chini kindergarten located in the Kilimanjaro region. The facilities of government nurseries and schools in Tanzania are very modest. In kindergartens, children are not prepared for primary school through play as children in our country are. No rugs, cushions, games, toys, garden with equipped outdoor playground, special programs, trips, events, worksheets, creating and making. Children as young as four years old learn to read, write and count. And they are doing well! They sing, they learn poems, they draw, but there is not as much space for play and fun as we are used to. The basic equipment they need for kindergarten is a uniform, 3 kinds of notebooks, a pencil, a pencil sharpener and an eraser. In this small nursery, there are about 8O children. Notebooks, pencils, crayons, glue or coloured paper, sometimes even some sweets :), will make them very happy. We also regularly supply them with flour, from which they cook porridge for the children, and help the most needy ones with paying fees and buying uniforms.
