School building project

ClassroomFor the past few years we have been raising funds for a school building project in Kibaya, Tanzania. 

 

 


SchoolThe plan is to build primary and secondary schools within the Kiteto Christian College. 

 

 

Eager to learnThe school started with three class rooms and as initial children progressed through their grades, a further classrooms were added, now resulting in a complete primary school.  

 

Science classIt is hoped that work will commence on a secondary school. 

In addition to giving the opportunity to local children to receive an education the school will also be used as a training centre for teachers who work in the outlying rural schools. 


The college is currently being assessed for accreditation as a Teacher Training College.
