Manyire Primary School is a government school in rural Arusha that was established in 1977. The school has a large enrolment of 596 students, 274 of which are girls.
Manyire is in a very similar condition to many of our other partner schools. It has classrooms in need of renovations as they’re so damaged from the heavy rainy seasons. The classrooms also do not have windows so the rain pours in when the children are in class.
Manyire community is very committed to education which is displayed by the large enrolment at this school. We want to help the students at Manyire get the education they deserve in a safe, clean and inspiring learning environment.
