Resource Efficient Nursery School in Tanzania, Hai District

Trinity Academy is a pre-primary and primary school with 240 pupils, 17% of whom are orphans. Trinity is striving to operate sustainably. The children aged 3-6 years are currently housed in an empty classroom that is absolutely not suitable and age appropriate for them. Preliminary exploration for this project has already taken place in August 2022. The land for the kindergarten is on the school site. The foundation is already in place according to the plan of a local architect.   

The aim of the project is to build a kindergarten for about 60 children aged 3-6 years with rainwater harvesting, solar energy, a vegetable garden for the children and a suitable playground. This will provide a loving environment for the children to learn and grow while raising awareness of sustainable living. The following four tasks will be tackled:  

    Step 1: Construction of the house 
    Step 2: Installation of solar panels, rainwater gutters and water storage tanks 
    Step 3: Equipping the rooms with suitable furniture and mosquito protection in the sleeping room 
    Step 4: Plant a vegetable garden, first fruit trees have already been planted
    Optional: Collecting toys etc. in Germany, improving and renovating the existing playground
