Deaf students in Dodoma face challenges as many schools refuse them. Our local rep tirelessly supports their education at Kigwe School or Matumbulu Vocational Centre. Let's ensure every child gets an education! #InclusiveEducation #SupportDeafStudents

The 900 girls at the school faced numerous challenges due to a lack of water supply before the water project began. Thankfully, improvements are underway! #WaterForAll #EmpowerGirls

Girls who become pregnant, even through rape, often lose educational opportunities. Our Tumaini Open School project offers them a second chance. Here, they enjoy table tennis with equipment donated by Bounce in London. #EducationForAll #SecondChances

🦛 When wildlife meets the school run, tragedy can strike. 14 students were attacked by hippos on the way to class.
Let’s protect them.
