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.

Let’s Go to School!

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.
