Winter Escape 2012
Start thinking now about a Nianjema safari in Tanzania during the cold months of winter. Classic Migration Safari with optional extension to visit Nianjema Secondary School.
Nianjema students continue to excel
Our Form 2 students (ages 13-14) ranked in the top 12% of 320 local schools and those in Form 4 (ages 15-16) in the top 15% in the all country's 490 schools in the Tanzanian National School Exams. Their continuing high performance is important.
Things are really popping at Nianjema!
35 children are learning in the brand new primary school, under the direction of two Tanzanian teachers. Two new high school buildings, underwritten by USAID, are already in use. Nearby, four new hostels (dormitories) are under construction.
TEF Scholarships support five orphans
Five orphaned students, three boys and two girls, are now enrolled in Nianjema Schools—all would probably not have been able to purse their education beyond primary school if it were not for Nianjema’s scholarship program.
