ABOUT Tanganyika Secondary school

A Few Words About the School

Tanganyika Secondary School is a co-educational boarding institution located in Mkuti-Mayange Village, within Kigoma District Council, Tanzania—approximately 40 kilometers from Kigoma town. The school currently offers Ordinary Level (O-Level) education, with aspirations for future academic expansion. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Madaga Fadhili and Mr. Lucas Lameck Suku, the school was established to provide quality education to disadvantaged students. It works in close partnership with the local community to promote inclusive, accessible learning for all. To bring this vision to life, the founders secured a 40-acre plot in Mkuti-Mayange, supported enthusiastically by the village council and local residents. Initial development was made possible through generous contributions totaling $245,450 from the Tanzanian government and U.S. donors. These funds enabled the construction of four classrooms, a girls’ dormitory, science laboratories, a kitchen, storage facilities, restrooms, a reliable water supply, and the installation of both national grid and solar-powered electricity. The school is governed by a dedicated team of board of members from both Tanzania and the USA, working alongside professional educators and community representatives. The school is officially registered and subject to regular government quality assurance inspections. Tanganyika Secondary School serves orphans, children from single-parent households, refugees, trauma survivors, and marginalized youth regardless of gender, religion, or ethnicity. It places strong emphasis on gender equity and empowering girls. With a curriculum centered on STEM, ecological restoration, and agroforestry aligned with Tanzania’s national standards the school integrates academic excellence with hands-on environmental learning. Its mission is to transform rural education and create lasting impact across Kigoma.
