Whilst enrolment for primary up to secondary school education is free in Tanzania, the numerous hidden costs of education such as uniforms, hostels and textbooks means that many street children who are more than 45,000 cannot afford to be in mainstream schools. To help them access formal education, pre & primary school for homeless children will be built. The school will help more than 500 homeless children from different parts of Tanzania to break out of the the cycle of poverty.
In Tanzania, poverty is a significant factor in the problem of homelessness. Nearly 50% of the country's population (just over 64 million people) live on less than $1.90 a day. Whilst enrolment for primary up to secondary school education is free in Tanzania, the numerous hidden costs of education such as uniforms, hostels and textbooks means that many street children who are more than 45,000 simply cannot afford to be in mainstream schools.
To ensure homeless children have an access to quality formal education, DRT will build an English-medium primary school in Dodoma that will at first year enroll 100 homeless children from different parts of the country to discover and develop their talents as well as providing them with other basic needs in life. Overall goal of constructing this school is to enable these vulnerable children complete their primary education and to have sustainable living after graduating
The school will help more than 500 homeless children from different parts of Tanzania to break out of the cycle of poverty and lead happy healthy lives as adults. Project will also reduce crimes such as prostitution and robbery which have been associated by the existence of homeless children.
