Rebuild and Expand a Pre- and Primary School in TanzaniaMama Lucy Kamptoni, a savvy and passionate local woman, founded the school in 2003 on land she rented land next door to her home using the income from her poultry business. Since then, the school has grown from 6 students to 200+ children, ages 2-13.
In July of 2007, Mama Lucy was informed that the site which she was renting for the school was sold to a hotel developer who would begin construction of a new hotel in early 2008. Epic Change is working with Mama Lucy to rebuild and expand Shepherds Junior in a new location. Expansion plans for the school include a computer lab, library, cafeteria, playground, classrooms to accommodate grades 1 through 7, restrooms with flushable toilets and the installation of solar panels for power. It’s estimated that the new school will cost $250,000 to build, and will take 3-5 years for construction and loan payback.
Contribute to Buy a School BusBecause your donations to Epic Change directly support the school in Tanzania, I hope you’ll consider donating now toward our next loan, which we hope will provide the opportunity for Shepherds Junior to purchase its first school bus, as Mama Lucy has planned. Your donations will help ensure the safety of small children, ages 2-13, who may live miles from the school, but would walk the distance on dangerous roads to obtain the high-quality education offered there.
