Hi! I'm Maria, and I'm starting a fundraiser to help a Pre and Primary School located in Nyambori, a village in rural Tanzania. 
 
In February 2025, while volunteering in local schools in the Mara region in Tanzania, I witnessed the harsh reality faced by hundreds of children in underserved communities. Limited resources, overcrowded classrooms, no running water or electricity… and yet, I was deeply moved by the resilience of the students and the commitment of their teachers. 
 
At the heart of this experience was Nyambori Pre &amp; Primary School, led by Julius Stoni. Built in 1975, the school now serves over 500 students with just 7 teachers and 6 classrooms—some holding up to 85 students per teacher. 
 
I knew we couldn’t walk away without doing something. 
 
What I'm Raising Funds For: 

I’ve launched this grassroots initiative to support Nyambori School with urgent improvements that will directly transform the students’ daily lives. 
 
My goal is to raise €12,782 (TSH 36,949,500) to: 
 
<ul>
<li>Install a clean water supply and safe sanitation system 
</li>
<li>Build 2 safe, weatherproof classrooms 
</li>
<li>Build a small teachers' office (so they don’t have to work under the trees!) 
</li>
</ul> 
Important documents:

</li>
</ul> 
These are basic needs, but they are life-changing. 
 
And I'm working hand-in-hand with the school’s principal, Julius, and the local community to make sure this support is sustainable and transparent from day one. 
 
Why This Matters: 
 
The school faces these daily challenges: 

<ul>
<li>Overcrowding: Some classrooms hold up to 85 students 
</li>
<li>Leaking roofs: Impossible to learn during the rainy season 
</li>
<li>No water or sanitation: Unsafe toilets, no clean drinking water 
</li>
<li>No electricity: No lighting, no digital tools 
</li>
<li>Student hunger: Many children walk 5–8 km and go the whole day without a meal 
</li>

How You Can Help: 

Your donation—big or small—can directly: 
 
✨ Build safe classrooms 

✨ Provide clean water and sanitation 

✨ Give children the chance to learn, grow, and thrive 
 
And if you can’t donate right now, please share this campaign. Getting the word out is just as powerful. 
 
I believe every child deserves a safe place to learn, clean water to drink, and food in their belly. With your help, we can make that a reality for Nyambori School.
