Welcome to Ilongero Secondary School in Tanzania
Turning this secondary school into a proper learning centre is our central project this year. Home to 961 students the school has 5 classroom blocks, 1 assembly room, 2 laboratories, 2 girls hostels and 3 teachers houses. A pretty impressive set up. Yet, with no electricity, only 4 teachers and a textbook for every 4 pupils, can they realistically learn anything?
Follow our story as we get ready to transform this school with the help of electricity, books and a kitchen.

Doug Clark: Future depends on education for girls

My son, Andrew, and I attended commencement exercises at Kongei Secondary School near Lushoto on Saturday, Sept. 19. In fact, we were seated among the guests of honor. Read more…
Sponsoring a girl – Info pack
What a feeling!
What would you like most for Christmas? I know what I’d like, but what I really need is a new front door to take away the draughts. “That’s not a Christmas present” my daughters said. Yet that is exactly what I need and if we were to club together, well, goodbye draughts, hello cosiness.
How often have you received a gift at Christmas that really means something to you? That really makes a difference to your life? But equally, how often have you given a gift that means something, that has the power to change a life for ever?
Sponsoring the education of a girl in Africa is such a gift and it costs less than a new door! This Christmas, make one of your gifts last a lifetime by sponsoring a girl (see our sponsorship page). This Christmas, give yourself the greatest of gifts, the power to change a life.
What a feeling!
