In Kilolo region in Tanzania, there is only one high school providing an education for young people from 83 villages.Through a local well established charity, Orphans and Social Development Organisation (OSDO) Youth Off The Streets Overseas Relief Fund is supporting the building of another high school, to be called St James Kilolo High School. Initial enrolments will start at 100 students, and when completed, the high school will cater for a maximum of 900 boys and girls.The first stage of construction, out of a total of five stages, will be land clearing, foundations, four classrooms and a toilet block, at a total cost of approx.$45,000-. The next stage is the building of a library, hostel accomodation (one for girls and one for boys) and administration block, at a cost of about $89,000-. The first students will be orphans cared for by OSDO, then fee paying students will attend.
Land clearing has already started, and local labour is working hard to collect rocks and make bricks for the foundations.
We are proud to be associated with this outstanding project, which will give many more young people the opportunity for a high school education; increasing their opportunities for a brighter future.
