Madisi Secondary School in the village of Igoda was the very first school that we partnered with people to build.
Sawala is our second-largest school, with over 600 students and has graduated over 100 students, many of whom have already helped us teach English courses at 9 of our other schools.
There are currently more than 200 students at Kising’a, and they are working on a large project to bring water to their school from 7 kilometers away.
With more than 550 students, Lukima Secondary School is one of our biggest schools, located in part of the Ruvuma region known for the huge boulders scattered throughout its mountains.
With well over 700 students, Idigima Secondary School is currently our largest school and has inspired a rash of other schools being built in the area.
Memya has nearly 200 students and as one of the VST schools with a generator, it has grown into a hub for printing exams and teaching materials for the other schools in the Rukwa region.
Nankanga is our only school in the Rukwa Valley with its hot weather and lush vegetation.
Imauluma Secondary School was built by five villages in the area where the former Minister of Education comes from and in part because of his generous contributions.
Malindindo Secondary School was built near our Lukima school when it became clear that one school was not enough to meet the needs of the surrounding community.
Mtazamo Secondary School is one of the few VST schools built by a female building supervisor. She has succeeded wonderfully in coordinating the six villages working together to build this school in a more isolated area where transportation is quite difficult.
Mtinyaki Secondary School is located in an area with a disproportionate number of orphans. The building there is currently being headed up by one of our own graduates.
Mpepo Secondary School is one of our most isolated and hard to get to schools, located near the Mozambique border. The people from the 7 villages there have had to work even harder than usual to make bricks and gather other construction materials because of the geography there.
The area around Ihongole is absolutely gorgeous, but incredibly difficult to build in. It has required incredible perseverance from the 9 villages that have worked together to build the school.
Bukimau Secondary School is one of our two schools where building is currently being supervised by a woman. It is also the first school where we used our vehicles to supplement the efforts of villagers instead of just using them to bring construction materials to the village.
Katunda Secondary School is one of the many new schools in the Rukwa region that was started as a result of the initiative one man took to go around to communities across Rukwa holding town meetings.
Longa Secondary School was constructed by the four villages surrounding the school under the supervision of one of our former students. They now have well over 300 students.
Kazovu Secondary School is located in a small fishing village right on the beach in a beautiful cove. Kazovu is the home village of one of our former students and is on the coast of Lake Tanganyika.
The construction of Ninga Secondary School was supervised by Noeli, who did such a good job that he has now been put in charge of overseeing the building of all of our 8 schools in the Rukwa region.
Mpanzi Secondary School is another school that was started as a result of one man's efforts to have town meetings with people across the Rukwa region. The building supervisor, however, is our former student from the village of Kazovu who came to work for us after getting negotiations started in his own home village to build a school there.
Sichowe Secondary School is our newest school and was built by people from nine villages surrounding the village of Lyapona, Rukwa. It received its first missionary teacher in 2011.
