School building project
While we are raising funds for the restoration and development of our own church building, we are also raising funds for a school building project in Kibaya, Tanzania.
Our plan is to raise £10,000 over two to four years. (This is equivalent to a tithe of one tenth of the money we are raising for our own project.) 
There have been plans to build primary and secondary schools within the Kiteto Christian College however these have been held back due to a lack of funds. The plan to start the primary school was brought forward during the 2006 famine. A VSO professional teacher and other volunteers were available and starting the school was as a means to provide both education and food to children during the famine.
Currently the school has three class rooms.
These are used for English speaking primary school classes in the morning and for Kiswahili speaking classes in the afternoon. As the current children progress through their grades, a further six classrooms and a store will be needed, resulting in a complete primary school.
After this, 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.
