Mission Giving Education a Helping Hand
The Africa School Assistance Project helps rural Africans build schools for their children and each summer leads groups of American volunteers to work on our adopted schools.
It is our mission to increase school capacity in Tanzania while fostering among American volunteers an understanding of life in impoverished Africa.
We Have Success Academics Show Great Improvement at ASAP Schools
Many Tanzanian communities feel demoralized about the state of their schools. ASAP has assumed that if a school environment is improved then academic results will follow. This has been the case with our two primary schools. Students from Mbaaseny and Kirenga recently sat for Standard 4 Exams. Mbaaseny ranked an astonishing 10th out of 120 schools in the District and Kirenga ranked 17th. This is a remarkable result for new schools in a poor, disadvantaged community. We have been working at Mbaaseny for two years and at Kirenga for one. We are continuing our work at Kirenga in 2010 and expect academic results to improve even further.
