School of Dreams: Empowering Education (Zanzibar)

Join us in making dreams come true!

Our journey began in 2019 with a humble classroom in a marginalized village in

Zanzibar. Against all odds, dedication and passion allowed us to expand our school

capacity to four classes by the end of 2022. Now we are proudly offering pre-primary

education to 200 students with fewer opportunities in a mission that was believed to be

impossible someday. Now we need your help to take it to the next level...

The education system in Zanzibar faces immense challenges. Many children in rural

areas lack access to education, while existing schools struggle with overcrowding,

inadequate resources, and low-quality education. Gender inequality and financial

barriers further compound the issue.

Through a 5 hectares area of land that would be home for a cumulative community

service project and out of our sincere belief in the transformative power of education to

shape brighter future, we are introducing “The School of Dreams”

● Location: Jendele Village, Zanzibar.

● Objectives: Build 8 Classrooms and complete volunteer dormitories by

September 15, 2023. With an estimated budget of $96,000.

● Target Area: Kusini Unguja district, encompassing six villages: Jendele, Kibele,

Chwaka, Hanyegwa, Cheju, and Dunga.

● Beneficiaries: 600 primary students, 300 youth and women annually, as well as

teachers and staff members.

Imagine the impact of providing education, training, and job opportunities to those in

need.

Why “ The school of Dreams” ?

● Statistics reveal that approximately 50% of children in their villages are not

enrolled in any school, leaving around 475 children without access to education.

● The existing schools suffer from overcrowding and lack of quality education

according to lack of resources.

● In the afternoon, the school premises will serve as a training center, empowering

youth and women with valuable skills for the labor market.

● The school will foster a holistic approach to education that extends beyond academics as following:

● We firmly believe in equality and inclusivity, ensuring that all students regardless their gender or background have equal opportunities.

How do we ensure sustainability of the project ?

The school is more than just infrastructure; it represents our commitment to creating a

sustainable model that can be replicated throughout Africa. Over the past four years,

our professional staff and international volunteers have laid the groundwork in one

village. Now, with your support, we are ready to expand. Our project is overseen by a

dedicated board of directors, including internal and external members, along with a

robust network of former volunteers and current partners eager to contribute.
