A snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro overlooks good things happening at the Kilimahewa Educational Center
IMPACT: In this year's first semester, nearly 100 young adults and youth have enrolled at the Center for courses ranging from a secondary school equivalency certificate to Computer and IT classes, English Intensives and our capstone program, THRIVE, that prepares Form 4 graduates for advanced level studies and builds their social interaction, job-seeking and workplace skills.
INSIGHT: Kilimahewa's exceptional teaching staff applies best practices and U.S. educational software to turn around the lives of students rejected for various reasons from Tanzania's formal system. At one time, schools like Kilimahewa were called "second chance" schools. With modern classrooms, an IT infrastructure, a bright and well-maintained library, farming plots to learn agricultural skills,for and a recreational field, Kilimahewa offers much more than a second chance. It's a new beginning and an exposure to possibilities never before considered by each student, young or old.
