Project Description

Robanda Primary School and Robanda Secondary School are located just outside of the Serengeti National Park and are accessible through the Fort Ikoma Gate on the North West of the park. Both schools are run by the Tanzanian government, and although they do get help from the government through the ministry of education, this is not adequate. Thus, help from outside is often necessary to supplement the government efforts to provide quality education. The supplies benefit the children from the Ikoma community, the predominant tribe in the area. The schools serve 894 children from the ages of 5 through 18 years old.
