During our annual 8-day run around Mount Kilimanjaro (280 km), we discovered Lerangwa village — a rural community facing a severe education crisis. The existing school has only 1 primary school for 928 pupils, with just 11 classrooms (only 8 usable) and only 6 teachers. There's no library, no food program, and unsafe buildings.
Children walk long distances, sit in overcrowded conditions, and many drop out early. This is unacceptable. Every child deserves access to quality education in a safe learning environment.
Our Solution
We're building a new primary school close to the existing one to reduce overcrowding and give children a safe learning environment. The project includes:
- 8 modern classrooms
- Administrative office
- Safe toilets
- A playground
- Furnishings & study materials
- Land for school expansion + community projects
- Optional future library
Free Education Goal
We aim for 100% free education, including school fees, food program (lunch every school day), uniforms & books, and community-run sustainability projects (plantation, poultry, bakery, etc.).
The total project cost is USD $110,000, and we plan to begin construction as soon as we secure the first $50,000. Every donation brings us closer to transforming the lives of 928 children and their entire community.
