Education
Education is at the heart of Seeds of Hope Tanzania. From early childhood through primary school and beyond, we support children as they build a foundation for learning, growth, and a brighter future.
Where it Began: From One Classroom to a School
Original School
Teachers & Students
This was the original school building where children learned when Seeds of Hope Tanzania first arrived—small in size, but full of hope.

At the heart of that first classroom were dedicated teachers and eager students—relationships that continue to shape the growth of our school community today.

Moving on to primary school
A Partnership with Nariva Academy
After completing their early childhood education at St. Rose of Lima Academy, students take an important next step in their educational journey by moving on to primary school. Through a valued partnership with Nariva Academy, our children continue their learning in a supportive and structured environment.
Nariva Academy is an English-medium boarding school where students receive excellent care, consistent meals, and a strong academic foundation. School fees are $500 per year per student, and we are deeply grateful to the sponsors whose monthly support makes this opportunity possible.
In January 2025, we transported 25 primary-age students to Nariva Academy. The journey itself was unforgettable — traveling through Arusha National Park, many of the children saw giraffes for the very first time. It was a joyful day filled with excitement, wonder, and hope for what lies ahead.
Meet our Tanzanian Liaison: Furaha
We are deeply grateful for our Seeds of Hope Tanzania liaison, Furaha Mangwangi, whose dedication helps ensure that our students are supported every step of their educational journey.
Furaha works closely with Nariva Academy and helps oversee nearly 150 students, making sure they are receiving a quality education and that their individual needs are met. She regularly conducts home visits, partners with families, and serves as a vital connection between the children, schools, and Seeds of Hope Tanzania.
Recently, Furaha was honored by Nariva Academy for her outstanding commitment to our students. We are incredibly thankful for her leadership, compassion, and tireless advocacy — this work would not be possible without her.
Student Success
Behind every success is a community that believes in a child’s potential.
Every child supported by Seeds of Hope Tanzania carries a unique story, but they all share one thing in common — the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream because of consistent support and access to education.
Students who begin their journey at St. Rose of Lima Academy build a strong foundation in their early years. As they move on to primary school and beyond, many continue to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. With the help of dedicated teachers, local leadership, and generous sponsors, our students are able to remain in school, develop confidence, and pursue their goals.
Today, Seeds of Hope Tanzania supports students from pre-primary through secondary school, vocational training, and college. Each success — whether it’s advancing to the next grade, completing primary school, or continuing on to higher education — represents a powerful step toward a more secure and independent future.
