The Centre is on Old Moshi Road, not far from the YMCA roundabout.
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. We especially help those families, who have not the resources to pay for the education of their children. We are providing our students with education and life skills during the 2 year course. With these new skills and knowledge they should be able to do something meaningful in life.
