In February 2023, a donation of £3,200 was made through the Tanzania Development Trust to bring solar power to Mkonona Secondary School. Built in 2022 as part of the Marumba Project, the school is situated near Marumba and serves as a beacon of hope and education for the local community.

Addressing Energy Challenges

Like many rural schools in Tanzania, Mkonona Secondary School faced significant challenges due to the lack of reliable electricity. These energy constraints hindered:

  • Evening Study Sessions: Without lighting, students struggled to study after dark, affecting their academic performance.
  • Efficient School Operations: Teachers and staff faced difficulties running daily operations without access to power.
  • Safety and Security: The absence of lighting posed risks to the safety of students and staff.

A Sustainable Solution: Solar Power

The installation of solar power at Mkonona Secondary School is a game-changer. It ensures:

  • Reliable Lighting: Students now have a well-lit environment for evening studies, improving educational outcomes.
  • Operational Efficiency: Teachers can access resources and tools to enhance their teaching methods.
  • Sustainability: Solar energy is a clean, renewable resource, aligning with environmental preservation goals.

Empowering Education and Sustainability

This initiative builds on the successes of the Marumba Project, creating a ripple effect of positive change in the region. By providing sustainable power, the project ensures that Mkonona Secondary School can continue to thrive as an educational hub for the community.

In December 2023, a donation of £4,100 was made to fund the construction of a security wall around St Mary’s Sisters’ Hostel at Mile Sita, one of our previously funded projects. This initiative aims to enhance safeguarding and security for the residents and ensure the continued safety of the community.

Why This Project Matters

The Sisters’ Hostel at Mile Sita serves as a vital facility, providing accommodation and support for individuals dedicated to serving the local community. However, the absence of proper security measures has posed challenges, including risks to the safety of the residents and the hostel’s property.

Building a Secure Future

The construction of the security wall will address these challenges by:

  • Enhancing Security: Providing a safe and secure environment for the Sisters and the surrounding community.
  • Safeguarding Resources: Protecting the hostel’s facilities and property from potential threats.
  • Fostering Peace of Mind: Allowing the Sisters to focus on their mission without concerns for safety.

A Continuing Commitment to Support

This project reflects our ongoing commitment to not only fund initiatives but also to ensure their long-term sustainability. By safeguarding St Mary’s at Mile Sita, we are supporting the invaluable work of the Sisters and reinforcing the foundation of a safe, thriving community.
