Arise Community School: Reg. KL. 07/07/004!
13th July 2017
Arise Community School first opened in January 2013. Whilst we have visited on many occasions since, our visit to the school this month was unique. It was the first time that we have visited it as an official school. Only very recently we heard the excellent news that the school’s application for registration with the […]

Back at Arise!
7th July 2017
We flew out from the UK earlier this week for another return trip to Arise School. As always, there was that moment of great relief when we got through immigration at Kilimanjaro Airport without being asked to open our suitcases! Invariably, our cases are overflowing with items for the school. On this occasion, they included […]

Realising A Dream! Part 3
30th June 2017
Our last two blogs have focused on the development of Arise School in terms of the growth in pupil numbers and in classrooms. In order for the children to learn, children also need books, both text and story books. These are often in very short supply in Tanzanian schools and this was certainly the case […]

Realising A Dream! Part 2
23rd June 2017
It was only a dream when they started to clear the ground for the first classroom to be built in 2012. From that small beginning, there are now seven completed classrooms at Arise School. The shared foundations for the final three classrooms have recently been started. As on previous occasions, the local community donated sand, […]

Who would ever have believed that an invitation to have coffee would lead to a school being built! In February 2012, Frank took us up the mountain to his home village to meet his parents. As they showed us round their land, Frank told us about his family’s dream – to give six acres of […]

It was their first trip to Tanzania. Two years on, Beth and Emily, recently returned to Arise to complete the research […]
