Kisasa Primary School, Tanzania

During our visit to the school in March 2023, we were delighted to see it looking absolutely wonderful. The school has expanded significantly, with six additional classrooms built to meet the needs of the area’s rapidly growing population. This expansion was funded by a local government agency, enabling the school to keep pace with the increasing demand for education.

In addition to the new classrooms, all existing rooms—including staff offices and the headteacher’s office—have been upgraded. Shiny grey floor tiles have been laid, white plasterboard ceilings with fluorescent lighting installed, and new roofs fitted throughout. The entire school continues to be powered by the electrical system that AZAR installed in 2016. Freshly painted buildings give the school a vibrant new look, while several exterior classroom walls now display beautiful, colourful murals created by the students themselves.

Headteacher Jesca proudly told us that, over the past four years, only one student has not progressed to secondary school. While this student would normally have had the chance to repeat their final year, they either chose not to, or their parents prevented them from doing so. In recognition of its outstanding performance, KPS was awarded second place among nearly 200 schools in the entire Dodoma region—an incredible achievement.

The AZAR UK team is overjoyed to see the school thriving, with children looking happy, well-nourished, and successfully progressing into higher education. We are deeply grateful to all our friends and supporters who have volunteered, donated, prayed, and stood alongside us throughout this journey. God bless you all.

As the school is now benefiting from substantial government funding, AZAR will continue to consider support for maintenance. However, the trustees feel it is now the right time to turn our focus towards other projects where our support is most urgently needed.
