General Activities and Aims

Our goal is to improve education in Africa, especially in Tanzania. Since several years we support our tanzanian partners to provide high quality education to their students. In the past years we helped our partner schools to build new class rooms (VTC), dormitories for boarding students (KSS and VTC), to generate a safe and sufficient water supply (KSS), to purchase class room equipment and books (KSS and VTC), tools for vocational training (VTC), a truck (KSS) and to get a computer room that is connected to the internet (KSS and VTC). In addition, several poor and talented students of our tanzanian partner schools are holders of a HELFEN M ACHT SCHULE - Scholarship to support their families to pay the school fees.

Visiting programs

Members of HELFEN MACHT SCHULE often visit our tanzanian partner schools to see the improvements and to confirm the impact of our help at the supported schools. In addition approximately every second year german students and teachers are on visit at the tanzanian schools to gain insights into tanzanian school life. In the year between the student journeys one or two tanzanian partners, e.g. headmasters, academic masters and/or teachers, of the VTC or KSS are invited by HELFEN MACHT SCHULE to visit the german partner schools.

• 2015 Mrs. Aggiflavia MASSAWE and in 2017 Mr. Filbert KILAWE, both teachers at Kishumundu Secondary School, have been on visits in Germany.

• 2016 Fraterin MERABA has been our guest in Germany to honor the 20th anniversary of his first visit.

• 2019 the Headmaster of Kishumundu Secondary School at that time visited Germany.

• 2021 Mr. MANGESHO was invited to visit Germany. His visit was delayed due to the travel restrictions during the COVID19 pandemy in 2020. Please visit Latest News for details.

Fundraising Activities

• Most years a calendar with brilliant pictures is produced by Winfried Sommer and sold in the christmas time by HELFEN MACHT SCHULE. Here is the one of 2014:

• Each november all classes of level 6 of Kopernikusschule Freigericht are performing a christmas bazar. They donate all the money they make to HELFEN MACHT SCHULE. We are also selling goods there to make some money by ourselves! Click on a picture for enlargement.
