he launch of the permanent library, in collaboration with book feeding organization will be a big step. Once established will be  open until 6 pm  but later if we would get solar power it would be open till 8pm and the proposed   room would accommodate for up to 40 community at once and during the day and morning  could also accommodate children and school students . Our source of books will depend on donors within and outside Tanzania, outside Tanzania and even from other local and international association and individuals.

In Tanzania and other developing countries often, young people are left out of decision-making on issues affecting their communities. Rather than creating short-term solutions based what we think developing communities are in need of, TAREO and Ayana International  empower youth living in rural areas, who truly understand the issues in their communities, to create and implement the solutions, ensuring long-term sustainability of these life-changing projects.

MOBILE LIBRARY PROJECT IN COMMUNITY SECONDARY SCHOOLS

TO BE IMPLEMENTED AT GHONA COMMUNITY SECONDARY SCHOOL WHICH WILL SUPPORT MORE THAN 1000 STUDENTS

OBJECTIVE: To Empowering the next generation of world-changers.

Informed. During the first stage, you will grow to deeply understand your chosen area(s) of the Sustainable Development Goals. You will study the UN Sustainable Development Goal descriptions and the action steps the global community plans to take. You will also identify and learn more about the problems affecting your direct community.

Human-Centered. You will go out into the world and observe people affected by this problem. This can be anyone from family members, friends, teachers, local farmers, local women, and more! During this stage, you will watch, learn, and ask the right questions to find out more about the issue. Having asked the questions, you will formulate a point of view statement to really identify how the problem affects the group you are trying to help. To do this, you might need to conduct interviews with potential beneficiaries to understand their lives, struggles, and needs.

Innovative. You will then begin to develop your solution idea. You will use the “Five Whys” technique to dig deep into their problem so that they are able to tell a story about the problem. The story will also include information collected in other stages of the project. On the last day, you will present your solution to the rest of the group, complete with action steps for moving forward, a rough budget outline, and plans for scaling.

Turning a tippy-tap into a movement for hand-washing through one school’s transformation.

(TOP) THE MAJENGO PRIMARY SCHOOL with mor than 300 children  | The project took place at a school, which meant the beneficiaries are young people. Peer-to-peer advocacy would become key to making sure hand-washing practices are effectively adapted.

THE TIPPY TAP | The previous system used was a tippy-tap (cartons of water controlled by a stick “pedal” which would tip them over). Transitioning from this system to a new faucet-based system  require adaptation and thats done and students now enjoying the new modal of hand wash station

Despite significant progress over the last two years TAREO and KIlitech  make focus  toward children, girls’ ,and women’s ,apart from education but we empower them in full participation, and decison making .

In KAHE WARD  gaps still remain. Our programs empower girls and women to participate more fully in the social and economic life of their communities by expanding access to education and training, supporting women farmers and entrepreneurs, promoting economic opportunity and job creation, and improving health outcomes.

KATARINA  was eleven years old in 2014, when she was forced to drop out of school. Her parents could no longer afford to pay school fees for all of their children. In kahe , traditionally, boys’ education is the priority. She recalls, “I was getting ready for school as normal. Then my mother told me that I would not be going; only my brothers can go to school”. This is her story.

KATARINA’s father – a farmer – had fallen ill and was no longer able to work. The family had no source of income and sacrifices had to be made. Her five brothers remained in school. The girl’s education was sacrificed. She was obliged to stay at home to run the house and nurse her father – simply because she was a girl.(we will publish her story on our website -www.tareo-tz.org)

Two years after her parents removed her from school, she managed to return to the classroom. This happened as a result of her meeting with a social worker from TAREO and Majengo Kids and youth Technology school who quickly identified the various needs of the family. Practical support including psychosocial counselling was provided.
KATARINA’s brother was employed in maize mill mill mashine donated ny Kilitech (www.kilitech.org)  encouraged to return and become the family breadwinner through the provision of a business setup grant. His wok  now generates enough income to support the family. This has ensured that the boys and the Katarina  can attend school.

Our efforts are primarily focusing  in Rural areas  which has several challenges from educational to economic hardship, where we  are working to minimize the challenges.

Our school focuses on the achievement of all children. We measure achievement in the same way as schools across  Tanzania.

Pupils’ achievement is measured in two ways: their progress and their attainment. Progress measures how far the child achieves from their starting point. Attainment measures how high they achieve. For example, a child with a low starting point may make far more progress in their learning than a child who finishes the year with higher attainment. Together, progress and attainment measures tell us how well children achieve at school.

The context of our school

Majengo school is a one form entry school with 150  pupils. There are 3 classes from baby class to Year 6. Majengo Kids school  is a non-selective, inclusive school with strong parochial and community links.

Our mission statement ‘Enjoy Learning – Learning for Life’ encapsulates all we do and we aim to provide a broad, balanced, inspiring and exciting curriculum that engages all learners.

Almost all pupils at in School made expected progress over the past two  years; with many making better than expected progress. using technology,Reading and Mathematics is a particular strength of the school. Newly arrived children and those with Special Educational Needs would have better place the coming year 2017 once we complete their infrastructure and we hope they will have all  expected progress or better.

Addressing on  Day of the African Child at Ghona Secondary School , Kahe ward Counselor Mr Kurwa Mbando , said  education,health and being respected  situations is one of the most grievous human rights violations experienced by children in rural areas include KAHE WARD.

Mr Mbando  also condemned the violation of children’s right to education and health in other part of Africa , saying the use of schools as residence for internally displaced persons over a long period of time is a gross violation of children’s right to education.

He  therefore appealed to heads of African governments to domesticate the Child Rights Act in order to protect the rights of children in the continent.

This is coming on the day of the African Child, which is marked by remembering over 100 children killed on the June 16, 1976 in Soweto, South Africa was well known for the first time in KAHE and MOshi Rural as it wasn’t being held in previous years.

This is due to fact that TAREO campaigned and mobilized Kilimanjaro authorities, Districts and wards.

Also one week campaign done in various schools and social centers to educate people and children their rights and important of this day
