PROJECT 1 – MONDULI SCHOOL DISTRICT, ARUSHA, TANZANIA
Working together with a local school district in Tanzania, NGI is collaborating directly with another local non-profit to assist in large scale teacher training and bringing new curricula to the school.
PHASE 1 (COMPLETED)
-
Working together with the Monduli School District in Arusha, Tanzania, we executed and completed a successful pilot of our teacher training course with our first cohort of teachers in July of 2022. Many months before going to Tanzania, we worked with our local partner, Nurture the Next Generation, to evaluate 10 schools. Based on this information, we tailored our strategies to fit the needs of teachers within the Monduli School District;
-
Our three educators, Mary Lutkewitte (co-founder and Vice President of NGI and Educational Expert), William Sprankles (NGI Board Member and Educational Expert), and Katie Klei (NGI Board Advisor and Educational Expert) delivered live, hands-on training to 34 teachers;
-
The three Educators were also able to visit 3 schools to personally connect with the students and village elders, and provide real-time teacher feedback as the teachers implemented the new strategies. The trainers were also able to assess see the availability of resources in the targeted schools; and,
-
Develop a meaningful and deep connection with the Monduli District Administrators with a request to come back and reach even more teachers and schools in 2023.
Goal: $5,000

PHASE 2 (ACTIVE)
-
Phase 2 continues our work with the Monduli School District. Our educators will be returning to Arusha in July, 2023. We will first be following up with the inaugural cohort of teachers and assess how well the techniques have positively impacted their delivery of educational content;
-
Identify teachers from the inaugural cohort to take additional training and become leaders in creating a sustainable, local ecosystem to support the continued optimization of the learnings;
-
Bring additional schools into the program, creating our next cohort of teachers;
-
Continue our relationship with the district administration as a key element in the sustainable, local ecosystem; and,
-
Develop additional on-the-ground relationships with other NGOs and charitable organizations to fill in areas of need that are not core to the NGI mission – such as, provision of practical resources (school supplies, ancillary services such as sports, facilities, etc.).
Goal: $30,000
