CHETI Primary School & Girls Boarding House are located in the rural village of Nadasoito in Arusha, Tanzania where there is no access to fresh drinking water, no electricity and no public transport. This school is now double streamed because of our work here and has 765 students.
The local community are mainly part of the Massai tribe, living in a mix of mud huts and rented brick homes consisting of one or two rooms.
The majority of adults are illiterate and earn less than $50 a month.

The future of this partnership
We have been working with CHETI Primary School since 2013 and have done so much together. It’s been a very productive partnership and we have achieved a lot in a short amount of time.
Now is the time for CHETI Primary to flourish and focus on the quality of education for its students. We will be continuing to monitor CHETI’s needs and how we can help in the future.
