Kent College, Canterbury has developed a Global Schools partnership with schools and communities in southern Tanzania over the past 8 years.
Three teachers at the school recently visited Masambarawe in Southern Tanzania as part of their remarkable Global School Partnership with schools and communities in southern Tanzania. A partnership has developed with Klerruu Secondary School and Saba Saba Junior School in Iringa, Tanzania with teacher exchanges and student visits.
Groups of pupils and staff have all visited in the last 6 months in order to support the extraordinary work that is going on – and in particular to transform the lives of people in a remote rural village by creating a well to provide a consistent water supply.
Part of the outreach has included developing and equipping a school in the remote rural community where Kent College students and their Tanzanian counterparts have decorated the school and provided furniture and the resources to build walls and toilets. On a recent trip, Kent College provided a feast for 300 villagers to celebrate the work done.
So far this term, Kent College has raised £2,000 for charitable causes.
