HELP build The Roof of Africa Maasai School

Help us build a new school and empower the Maasai. Building a brighter future together.

Our reputation for providing quality education is spreading throughout Tanzania. So much so, we’ve been asked to build The Roof of Africa Maasai school.

Why This School Matters
In Maasai communities, the challenges of poverty, malnutrition, and social exclusion are deeply intertwined. Research consistently shows access to quality primary education can reduce poverty by up to 30%, boost lifetime earnings and improve health outcomes dramatically. Education empowers children with the skills and confidence needed to secure a better future for themselves and their families.

At The Roof of Africa SCIO, we began such a journey with our first pre and primary school in Sonu. This was followed by the Bomang'ombe Day Care Centre. The successes of these educational establishments reveal a powerful truth: quality education becomes a catalyst for change when communities come together.

A community-led revolution
The reputation of The Roof of Africa SCIO is travelling across Tanzania. This has led to being contacted by the Maasai community to build a new pre and primary school – The Roof of Africa Maasai School. As with our current school, it won’t just be a building but a beacon of hope created by and for the Maasai people. Community leaders have pledged their support by donating land, time, and resources. This collective commitment ensures that every lesson taught here is rooted in Maasai culture and community values, setting a strong foundation for lifelong success.

Transforming lives, one child at a time
With your support, this school will:

  • Provide quality education nurturing academic and life skills.

  • Deliver nutritious meals that fuel young minds and bodies.

  • Create a safe haven where orphans and street children can be reunited with caring families.

  • Equip an entire generation to challenge poverty and drive sustainable development in the central-eastern cluster of our region.

Join us in this movement
Your donation isn’t just a gift—it’s an investment in a transformative future. By supporting The Roof of Africa Maasai School, you will help create a cycle of empowerment: educated children become community leaders, families thrive, and the entire Maasai region rises above poverty.

Together, we can light the spark of change. Let’s build a school that not only teaches but transforms lives.

help build our first secondary school: The Roof of Africa Secondary school

Build the Roof of Africa Secondary School — Empowering the next generation

We have just celebrated our first primary school graduation — an inspiring milestone where every student passed with As and Bs. Proving quality education is possible and transformative.

Now, these bright young minds are ready for the next step. We are launching our flagship secondary school project, The Roof of Africa Secondary School, to honour their hard work and potential and help them take one more step toward a university one day and remain out of poverty.

Our vision is clear: a fully-equipped lower secondary facility that delivers excellence with every detail. Each classroom will be fitted with electricity, high-speed internet, and modern furnishings—all designed to foster a dynamic and nurturing learning environment.

This is a mammoth undertaking for a small charity like ours, but we know the impossible is possible with your support.

Stage One: The foundation for quality education

To launch this transformative project, we need to build the following in stage one:

  • 4 fully-furnished classrooms — each costing £50,000
    (These dynamic spaces will inspire learning with the latest educational technology and comfortable, ergonomic furniture.)

  • 1 State-of-the-Art Computer Lab —£35,000
    (A digital hub where students can develop essential skills and explore the world beyond the classroom.)

  • Administration Block & Staff Offices —£27,000
    (A centralised office to ensure smooth management and support for our students and staff.)

  • Modern Kitchen Facility — £23,500
    (Providing nutritious meals to fuel the minds and bodies of our future leaders.)

  • Toilet Units—£19,500
    (Providing clean, safe, and hygienic facilities that meet the highest standards of health and dignity.)

  • Water & Comprehensive Wash Systems — £24,500
    (Reliable water supply and sanitation systems to ensure a healthy school environment.)
    STEM Lab & Library — £79,000
    A dynamic, dual-purpose facility providing hands-on STEM education and a well-stocked library. This hub will serve the entire school cluster, offering digital resources, interactive learning tools, and a quiet space for research and creativity.
    Total Stage One Investment: £373,500

    Your support will build the cornerstone of a secondary school that not only educates but transforms lives. Every donation moves us closer to a future where young people from abject poverty have the resources and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty and lead their communities into a brighter tomorrow.

Help Secure Vital School Transportation: Driving Education and Community Care Forward

Help us secure vital school transportation: Driving education and community care forward

Reliable transportation is key to ensuring every child reaches school safely, and every community member gets urgent access to healthcare. We need two essential vehicles:

  • A school bus: £89,000
    (This dedicated bus will transport students daily from remote villages to school, ensuring punctual, safe, and reliable access to education and will also be our mobile library and classroom.)

  • An outreach land cruiser: £100,000
    Designed for rugged terrain, this vehicle will serve dual purposes: quickly transporting patients to hospitals in emergencies and facilitating our outreach efforts —delivering nutritious meals and essential supplies, as well as shuttling our staff safely between communities.

Total investment for transportation: £189,000

Your one-time gift or monthly commitment will directly fund these life-changing vehicles. Imagine a child who can attend school every day because of your generosity or a community member who reaches a hospital just in time.
