What is Walk for Tanzeed?
TANZEED- Tanzanian Empowerment through Education
TANZEED believes in fighting poverty through the empowerment provided by education. Education and knowledge enable people to make informed choices, take control of their life and better their personal circumstances.
TANZEED aims to support empowerment through:
-
supporting young people with their primary or high school education
-
building schools in remote areas to enable access to education
-
providing professional development for teachers
-
health education
The most important stakeholders are the Tanzanian people themselves. Consultation and collaboration with the Tanzanian community is a core value for all TANZEED projects
Westminster began its student "Walk with a Purpose" in 2022. Geography teacher Adam Burford had visited a village in Tanzania, Africa as part of studies in International Development where they had no local school. Students walked a daily 14 kilometres - each way - a three hour walk, subject to several dangers, including wildlife. Tanzeed was launched to build a school to spare them this daily trek.
Our Mission
This year our aim is to fund a new classroom for Name Lock School (The School TANZEED built and helps support). The need for an extra classroom is increasing as the school has had 50 extra enrolments of children aged 4 to 5 years old. This makes our total enrolments jump from 300 to 350. This Classroom will cost $20 000 Australian dollars. Please help this important cause by helping build another classroom to help the ever-growing school support more students and lift them out of poverty. Any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Together, we can change lives.
