Watu was founded by two teachers: Josiah Mchome and Richard Heery. Since 1996, with your support and with the help of students from various international schools, we have raised funds to support the education of scores of students. Together we have built, renovated and equipped classrooms, toilet blocks, kitchens, teachers’ accommodation, etc. To this day, we have helped over twenty schools for children of all ages in the towns and villages of northern Tanzania.
Whilst these infrastructures have been crucial, local educators expressed the need for more modern and efficient teaching methodology. As a result, we decided to built a learning and resource centre. Inside the centre, we would install a modern science lab, a computer lab, a library with Internet access and a conference hall.
The construction of the centre has now become a reality. Watu is responsible for its construction in the village of Shiri-Mgungani.
- transferring quality textbooks and material to schools and students in the region;
