Peace Pre- and Primary Schools
Peace Pre-School and Primary School, located in Njiro, Arusha, was founded in 2015 and is owned by Mrs. Monica Leonard Kwayu, with Ms. Iris Naushad Makere as the head teacher. The school offers inclusive education for 337 pupils, including children with special needs, and was recognized as an Inclusive School by the Ministry of Education in 2024. It operates as an affordable English Medium School, teaching students in English from Year 1 to prepare them for secondary school and beyond. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the school through activities such as classroom teaching, lesson planning, assisting children with special needs, introducing sports and recreational activities, and helping with school improvement projects like infrastructure or playground upgrades. They also have opportunities to support marketing and develop new ideas to enhance the school’s community reach. Situated less than a kilometer from our volunteer house, Peace School offers a meaningful opportunity for volunteers to contribute directly to empowering local children through quality, inclusive education.
Neemah Secondary School
We have been supporting Neemah Secondary School since 2022 as part of our Community Outreach Programme. Recognising the positive impact volunteers have on the students, teachers and the whole school, the school management has asked us to recruit volunteers to support the school on a daily basis. It is a secondary school from grade 8 – 13, teaching pupils who did not receive scholarships for public secondary schools and whose families cannot afford expensive private schools. The school fees at Neemah School are very low and many children are supported as scholarship holders through sponsors. Volunteers can work in the areas of teaching, workshops and pastoral care, as well as initiate other activities such as tree planting, renovations and play and sports days in cooperation with the community outreach programme led by our social worker Juma. In the long term, the establishment of a centralised sponsorship programme is also planned.
