PROJECT DETAILS
Impact Statement
The project in Ololosokwan, Tanzania, aims to provide teachers with comfortable, functional living spaces that support their ability to educate and serve the community. By improving housing for teachers, the project enhances both teacher well-being and the quality of education provided to the children of Ololosokwan.
Project Overview
WHO:
Educators at Ololosokwan Primary School who work in this remote location, away from their families, to serve the educational needs of the community.
WHY:
In Tanzania, teachers are often stationed at remote schools, with the number of teachers determined by the number of classrooms rather than the student population. As classroom expansions at Ololosokwan were underway, it became clear that teacher housing was equally crucial to supporting these educators.
WHAT:
The project involved building a new teacher’s complex to provide suitable living accommodations. The new housing features two units, each comprising three rooms, a sitting room, kitchen, storage area, bathroom, and courtyard. The renovation also included essential infrastructure work such as roofing, windows, doors, and electrical systems.
IMPACT:
The new living quarters help ensure that teachers have comfortable and functional housing, which fosters a stronger sense of community and collaboration among the educators. By investing in teachers’ well-being, we contribute to the long-term success of Ololosokwan’s children.
