The School

Mvumi has a good reputation with students coming from all over Tanzania. The school seeks to develop students academically, socially, morally, spiritually and physically. This vision is that they will grow into skilled and responsible citizens.

Our current school roll is 520 and well over half the students board or lodge locally, with around a fifth of them sponsored by the Trust. Additionally, through the Trust’s support we have been able to build a range of buildings, drill a reliable bore hole, install electricity and improve other facilities such as the sports fields, science laboratories and library facilities.
