New Girls Dormitory at Milembe Secondary School!

The new girls dormitory is going up at Milembe Secondary School!  Over the past three months, the Africa Schoolhouse team has been hard at work—laying the foundation, building block walls, and now installing the roof. The team is on track to complete the dormitory within the next month.

Right now, almost 50 girls are sleeping in the school’s Dining Hall as they eagerly await their move into the dorm. For these students, living on campus means more than just a bed—it means time and space to focus on their education. It means no more long, exhausting walks to and from school, and fewer hours spent on daily household chores—realities that too often hold girls back in rural Tanzania.

Thanks to donors like you, 56 girls will soon have a safe, supportive place to live and learn. This is more than a building—it’s a life-changing opportunity.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership in creating brighter futures and empowering girls to complete their education and thrive.
