Our students and staff.

 

Every year thousands of Tanzanian children finish their primary education with no prospects of continuing their education. This can be because of failing of the exams or the lack of money to go on to private schools. The Maisha Mapya Education Centre was established to help girls and boys who finished primary school (standard VII). We especially set out to help those families, who have not the resources to pay for the education of their children.

We are providing them with education and life skills. With these new skills and knowledge they should be able to do something meaningful in life. We also want to give these children a high self-esteem by discussing life issues with them and give them a voice.

Our teaching programme focuses on the following components:
English: a popular subject with the students, which will give them better job opportunities and confidence;
Mathematics: necessary skill in today's life;
Theatre Arts: creativity, confidence building, activeness;
Sports: exercise and team building;
Domestic Science; health, cooking, clothes making;
Hotel Management; a selected group of students receive theory and practical training by a professional teacher.
Mechanics: students are placed in a local garage and receive instruction by an experienced mechanic.
Sowing and knitting: subject with opportunities for self employment;
Health: personal hygiene, AIDS
