Throughout Africa school children are forced to sit on bare floors because classrooms are not equipped with even basic furnishings. A greater misfortune is that some children are only able to attend classes in primotive school buildings (as seen in the image above) with hard-packed earth floors, as there are an inadequate number of classrooms.

Educate to Alleviate

Mkokozi Primary School is located at Mkuranga District and was built in 1974. Over the years there have been little advancement to meet the requirements. Although the school employs 27 teachers, there is limited space for teachers to work thus forcing teachers to create make-shift offices outside.

Education is the Answer

African Reflections Foundation (ARF) found that a high percentage of school children go to school hungry every morning. Thousands of families live on less than one dollar per day, thus the children are lucky to have just one meal a day.

African Reflections Foundation, with the help of generous donors, has started to feed the children breakfast at Mkokozi Primary School, in the outskirts of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. We hope that the children, who do exceptionally well under harsh learning conditions, will be able to concentrate better and learn more after having breakfast.
