Help putting up a school building

We believe that all children should have the right to attend school. In Tanzania the school fees for elementary school were abolished in 2016. We think that was a great initiative, but as a result of free schooling, the number of students increased enormously, which put additional pressure on the schools in the country. Because the Government only abolished the school fee without at the same time providing the schools with more resources to cope with the increased pressure, education is adversely affected as there are not enough teachers or classrooms to cater to the increased number of students. One of our partner schools has been particularly severely affected, since they were already facing a major shortage of resources. As a result, many students now have lessons outdoors, which is strenuous because of the glistening sun. This is even more problematic during the rainy season when the school is closed because there are not enough classrooms to accommodate all students. This affects the students’ education significantly. Therefore, Unite 2 Learn is focusing on constructing additional classrooms and teachers’ lounges to make sure the education can be carried out in the best way possible.

All children have a right to education. Join us and support them. Thank you in advance!
