TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)

Tanzania

Mama Sylvia Primary and Pre – Primary School, Njorieti

Mama Sylvia School remains the largest of tGF projects.

We are delighted to report that the school came second out the 78 Government schools in the District in the National Standard Four exams in 2025.

This is an amazing achievement, especially given how new the school is. It has been a team effort, Otilia, the Headteacher, and her teaching staff are a large part of the success. They introduced a Saturday school for the Standard Four pupils, where tGF provides the lunches and further encourages the children to come to school by giving them a soda drink and a lollipop. We also provides the food and drinks for the lunches and breaks during the week for all the teachers and support staff, which we will continue.

Throughout the year the school has had fantastic support from the parents, Government officials and let’s not forget the hard work done by the children. The Nationals exams are very important as they determine which secondary school they go to, the higher the results the better the secondary school, ultimately feeding into their future opportunities.

Everyone was very excited when Otilia received a Certificate of Congratulations for the school’s success in these national exams. This was presented by the District Commissioner and the District Executive Director, the two highest officials in the District.

History of Mama Sylvia School

Background to the construction of the school which was a team effort

We commenced the school in 2020 after building two classrooms and an office. We were eager to support the new school in order to improve the teaching and learning environment for children, many of whom travel several miles on foot each way to attend school. Prior to this the students walked 2 hours each way to attend the school in the larger village.

Although tGF are funding the majority of the school, by working with others we can achieve our goals together. The key to this project is to bring together all the interested parties required to make it a long-term sustainable success.

The school pupils’ number has grown to 300 and are due to rise to 360 by 2027.

As part of completing 5 classrooms, we have supplied tables and chairs for 360 pupils together with teachers desks and chairs. We also built a teachers office and a store. Our largest project this year was building a dining/ multipurpose hall, complete with kitchens, store and stacking tables and chairs for 360 pupils. This allows the students to eat indoors and to use the hall for multiple other activities. Additionally, we provided 4 teachers, teacher training and mentoring, along with teaching resources, plus built two playgrounds for enjoyable sporting and fun facilities for the children.

In 2023/24 tGF provided the funds for a borehole and taps, the project was delivered on our behalf and in conjunction with the Mud House Children's Foundation. There are taps inside and outside the school grounds. The school benefits from fresh drinking water, invaluable to the children. The taps provided outside the school are used by several villages and this means that these communities no longer need to obtain their drinking water from muddy rivers, The borehole is over 200m deep, and when there are droughts it will literally be a life saver.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

A significant part of the success was appointing Otilia lssuja as Headteacher. We funded Otilia's Education degree. She achieved a first and we are very proud of her.

The Village Community built the original mud house classroom with rocks as seats and provided two teachers. They have donated the 25 acres of land and the original toilets. tGF registered this land designated for a Government school.

The Regional Council built a road to the school. TASAF (the Government's Tanzanian Social Action Fund) provided two teachers houses and a new toilet block.

In 2023 KWF the German Federal Government Foreign Aid Organisation built a staff room and two further classrooms bringing the total number to 9.

The District MP has visited the remote village to see the school first hand on a number of occasions and he is giving it his full backing. We also have the commitment of the Local and Regional Councils.

The Headteacher has produced a detailed 4 year plan, which our board have approved. This is a substantial commitment by tGF, which we believe is required to ensure the future success of the school.
