SOMMARIO
The Cottolengo Trust Tanzania
(CTT) cerca di
costruire una scuola primaria integrate ad accogliere i bambini a purpose-built
school to provide an essential good education for children who need to receive
or experience a stable educational environment.
The Cottolengo Integrated School is a project started
by the Cottolengo Missionaries present in Tanzania with the aim of
meeting the educational needs of the society, especially the poorest members of
the society. Our conviction is that education is the path that leads out of
poverty into the desired development of societies.
- Specific Objective
The specific goal is to provide quality education to
the poor children who cannot afford it due to financial problems. It focuses
especially on educating children of low privileged families and those with
special needs.
- School Model: Integrated School
The school assumes an integrated, and so welcomes
children with disabilities. The dream is to see children with special needs,
especially the disabled or those living with handicapped, live and learn side
by side with those who come from stable and well-to-do environments. The
project will also receive others from well to do families so as to reach its
goal of integration and sustain the school economically besides providing
reasonable academic standard. This will reduce drastically the costs for all
families who most of the time take their children to schools far away from our
district.
- Infrastructure
The project
aims at constructing fourteen classrooms namely a double stream from
class one to seven, an administration block, dining room, kitchen, store, home
science room, Library, special class room and a computer room. These will take
into consideration the needs of the physically challenged.
- Co-Educational Programmes
Cottolengo Integrated school aims at bringing up an
all-round citizen borrowing from our Founder St. Joseph Cottolengo, who wanted
to take care of the “material as well as the spiritual needs of the poor”.
It aims at placing other co-curricular activities and
talent development in areas such as Music, Art and Design, home science,
communications skills, Information Technology and so on. The school will also
provide community-based projects/training development programs outside of
school hours, all of which can be attended by parents and older family members
to enrich their education, thus bringing some cohesiveness into the community
alongside the children’s education. This will be an avenue for parenting
seminars.
- Construction Timescale
The timescale for constructing the school is 24 months from the start date, when
resources are available. Once the school is open, it will run indefinitely. The
school will be situated at Sanze in Kisarawe town in Coastal region just a few
miles away from Pugu the outskirt of Dar es salaam City.
The School will require:
- Building and construction materials for
Elementary School blocks. (See Appendix A).
The School is expected to provide education to 80 children in each of the seven grades
(total of 560) and employ qualified
teachers and administrative staff.
- Boarding Facilities
A keen study carried out around has found out that
boarding schools perform better in national exams than day schools. Many
factors contribute to this including: absenteeism, non-supervision of preps for
children at home, truancy, peer pressure and so on. Children in a boarding
school are monitored by their teachers and other support staff in these areas.
Following the school timetable in Kenya where there are three terms, children
might find it easier to study in an intensive timetable. CTT is proposing a
boarding facility for the children from Class four onwards.
- Educational Goals
The School will:
- Enable children to reach their full potential by
providing them with a good education. This in turn will help them to
mature spiritually, psychologically, emotionally and develop their talents
hand in hand with good social skills.
- Provide local employment thus boosting the morale
of those in the surrounding communities.
- Keep families together in a community context, as
the school is a local amenity.
- Assist in the reduction of violence and crime
through community-based projects established outside of school hours.
CTT will endeavor to raise funds through Parents
contribution, people of good will contributions and Funding Proposals.
CTT is requesting support from you, as a Donor,
towards the cost of the building and construction materials for the school.
SECTION
1: CONTEXT
·
The
Registered Trustees of the Cottolengo Trust Tanzania
The Registered Trustees of the Cottolengo Trust
Tanzania, here in refered to as Cottolengo or simply as CTT, is a body
corporate registered in 2013. The aims of CTT is to provide support for the
poorest in the development endeavors in the areas of education, health,
community development, and spiritual sphere.
Since its incorporation in 2013, CTT has carried our
short initiatives and other long term initiatives in line with its vision and
mission. Last year CTT undertook to pay medical bills for the sick, it helped
some poor families acquire meals and decent housing, it is supporting nine
students in secondary school and university colleges, and it is currently
carrying out UWEZO Project for needy girls and women to learn dressmaking.
·
Our Beneficiaries
The Kisarawe natives are the Zaramo who according to
the District Council form 70% of the population while rest is immigrants. These
people from different areas migrated to the city to look for jobs but
unfortunately they found themselves wondering in the outskirts of the city
jobless. As a result they engage themselves in daily temporal activities like
selling water, firewood and charcoal just to mention a few.
·
Our Method
Provision of quality education is therefore one way of
fulfilling our mission and this is what we are eager to accomplish if we get
support to construct Cottolengo
Integrated school among the Zaramo tribe living in coastal region.
We hope to continue supporting the poorest members
through fundraising done by CTT and by making appeals for scholarship for needy
but bright students.
·
Our Values
We strongly believe that children own the future of
the nation. That requires a change of the attitude of youth towards the peaceful
human relation, add values of respect, tolerance, knowledge and empathy at
homes, school and around the world. Therefore by educating the youth we expect
a bright future and a changed world.
SECTION 2: ENVISAGED MILESTONES
2.1. Overview
CTT owns plot No. 1 block A, in Sanze, which covers
around 7 Hectares. The land is hearmarked for construction of
a) Cottolengo Integrated School: Primary School. Class
one to Three are day scholars, Class four to seven are Boarding school.
b) Cottolengo Secondary School: Form one to form 6 will
be Boarding school.
c) Cottolengo Health Centre: an Outpatient and Inpatient
section, especially for Mother and Child Health (MCH).
d) Residences for Formation house, Priests and Sisters
e) Other Accomodations for workers and visitors.
As has been highlighted above, Kisarawe and the
surrounding area is underdeveloped and therefore cannot, at this time, cater
for the educational needs of the children. It is unacceptable the distance that
the children have to walk to attend school, and back again. Parents in the area
cannot afford to send their children to school and so the social needs of the
children are also wanting.
It is hoped that through this funding proposal CTT can
establish a school, and in so doing, be able to alleviate some of the pressures
of the parents of families living below the poverty line.
The aim is to establish an Elementary School to help
and assist the surrounding communities and beyond. As a kindergarten the school
is and it has more than a hundred pupils and about 30-40 pupils are admitted
every year and those who complete their nursery education go to other schools.
The project looks forward to admitting these children in class one instead of
graduating and going to other schools.
If we get grants we look forward to construct:-
Two
classroom blocks of two floors- {Comprising of;- 14 classrooms, 1 computer
lab,1 home science lab and pupils Toilets},
Administration
block {Comprising of Offices/mini library/staff dining/store and staff toilets}
Play grounds
NOTE:The estimated budget for the school is attached at
Appendix A.
2.2. Outputs
The planned outputs are as follows:
The
school will be constructed within a period of between 24 - 48 months, when
resources are available.
Within
seven (7) years of the school opening, approx. 560 children will be provided
with a good education at primary level. Thereafter the school will have a
secondary section to cater for the graduating classes.
The
children’s wellbeing will be catered for spiritually, psychologically,
emotionally, physically and socially.
Provide
local employment to those in the surrounding communities therefore decreasing
the number of those caught in the poverty trap.
As
a local amenity, the school will provide community-based projects/training
development programs, outside of school hours, thus keeping families together
in a community context.
Creating
community awareness and inclusiveness which is an essential and very real
aspect of tradition village life.
2.3. OUR
COMMITMENT
Cottolengo through this project is committed to do the
following;
CTT
will endeavor to inform you, as Donor, regularly of progress being made on the
project.
CTT

you, as our Donor. It is for this work that we are seeking support from you, as
Donor, as we are aware that your emphasis is on building and construction
materials.
·
CONCLUSION
The Board of Trustees of the Cottolengo Trust Tanzania
has made the dream of the local community theirs. We wish to realize this dream
with them. Through the support of Associazione Luisa Monti Onlus, of Bosa,
Sardegna, we have made a borehole which assures us water for the construction
works and later for the consumption at the school. This means the realization
of our dream has kicked off. We ask you to join us in
this dream.
