Youth Off The Streets is excited to advise that the major St James Kilolo High School project is now almost complete, and is due to open in June 2011.The new high school will eventually house and educate up to 900 young people from surrounding villages in this region of Tanzania, expanding the educational opportunities for local students, alongside other high schools in the region. Classrooms and toilets, two hostels (one for boys and one for girls), dining hall, kitchen, admin block, headmaster’s house and storeroom are now finished. Subjects will include Kiswahili 1 & 2, History 1 & 2, Geography 1 & 2, English 1 & 2 and General Studies. The school will cater to local orphans first, then fee paying students.

The Local government will register the school and the Local communities are excited that more young people in the region will have the opportunity to attend high school closer to where they live. This wonderful project will have a long lasting impact on the region, employing local teachers and support staff when open, and providing educational opportunities for future generations. Canterbury League Club has been a major supporter of this project. A recent donation from the Club was used to purchase books and furniture, and also facilitated the connection of electricity and water to the completed buildings.
