Teaching Reading in Tanzania

Teaching students in Tanzania to read in English is challenging. English is quite different in structure and pronunciation from Kiswahili and local languages, teaching programs don't prepare teachers to teach in English, and students are learning to read with a very limited vocabulary. Twegashe students are succeeding despite these difficulties, but a new, donated reading curriculum will be a big help.

There are many fun and exciting things happening at Twegashe School as we begin the second semester of our second year of operation. We have a new teacher, a new goat project, new cafeteria tables, new solar power at the teacher's houses, new training for our teachers...And this is not new, but there are also lots and lots of smiles!

A Wonderful Gift

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.
