Gombani Nursery School in Pemba

(this page in English)

In Gombani on the island of Pemba (Zanzibar), this school, the Gombani Nursery School, was built on the basis of help for self-help by parents who have very little resources and is now also managed by them. Unfortunately, there is a lot missing. As you can see in the following pictures, the school needs your help in the form of folders, pencils, erasers, school desks, etc. Also financial help is welcome, further information on how to donate can be found following the photos.

Daten zur Schule

The school was opened in 1997. The address of the school is: Gombani Nursery School
P.O.Box 186
Chake Chake
Pemba / Sansibar

The school has a total of 150 students
85 girls
65 boys
5 children are orphans
1 child is physically disabled

The school has 5 teachers and the headmistress is Ms. Asha Khamis Abdalla (contact: ashkha01@gmail.com). This school has 6 rooms, 4 rooms are not finished yet, and a smaller room is planned for a small business, but not finished yet. Currently the school faces the following main problems:
  1. The wages for the teachers can not be paid because the parents of the children have no money.
  2. They can not connect the school to the mains for lack of money.
  3. They can not hire a security guard for lack of funds.
These problems can cause the school to close, which would be a huge loss for the children.

If you want to support the school, please send a package of school supplies to the address above for Mrs. Asha Khamis Abdalla.
