Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To increase access to secondary school education programs for the indigenous children of Tanzania, Africa.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To increase access to secondary school education for the indigenous children of Tanzania.

  • The Red Sweater Project has worked alongside community members in the launching of the village's first secondary school in Mungere Village, Tanzania. The Organization operates the school with approval from the local government leaderships. The school had 137 students in 2019. The Organization's focus on quality education has set us apart since the beginning. Our success is not defined by the number schools we build, but the effectiveness of our graduates as leaders in their communities. In 2013, Mungere students scored in the top quarter of schools in our region and second in the district. In 2018 the school graduated its second form IV Class. Every Mungere graduate passed their national exams, compared with only 30 nationally. The School is recognized by the Tanzania Ministry of Education for investing in a long term vision for students while achieving expeditious results for its students.
