Phase I construction of Twegashe Primary School is almost complete. Take this virtual “photo tour” to get an idea of what the school looks like and how it feels (minus the heat!) to walk around the school grounds.

Schools in Tanzania, including Twegashe, have re-opened. But there are still a lot of uncertainties about the coronavirus situation around the country. We’re being cautious to help keep our kids and the community safe.
CORE Tanzania’s board president writes from Bushasha with an update on the coronavirus situation in Tanzanian, its effect on life in the village, and its impact on our Twegashe School Program.
Twegashe School is now open at a temporary location in the village church. With the help of our cook, parent volunteers, and two loving and enthusiastic teachers, the start of school has been very successful. The children are having fun, and learning a lot at the same time.
Check out these beautiful photos of some of the bird-life in Bushasha, taken by a CORE Tanzania board member during a visit to the village.
Our construction team is making good progress. The walls are more than half-way up, they’ve constructed a water storage tank, and have also begun work on the biofil toilets for the school.
A donor has offered a very generous matching challenge to CORE Tanzania supporters. Compassion and commitment to education have led three generations of this donor’s family to support the Twegashe School project, each in their own unique way.
We’ve completed all the preparations for construction and recently broke ground digging foundation trenches. We’ve also received our official permission from the government to build a school, so we can now proceed with construction full-speed-ahead!
The first activity to take place on the Twegashe School site was the construction of a road. View a video of that road taking shape.
