People’s Participation in Education (WATU) is a small NGO, registered in Tanzania and working in the Kilimanjaro Region, whose mission is to offer able young people from financially disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to realize their academic potential. From 2006 to 2012 we supported students in local secondary schools and provided educational materials and in-service training to teachers in the Kilimanjaro region.
In 2012 we opened WATU Secondary School in the village of Shiri Mgungani outside Moshi which now consists of 142 secondary and 28 kindergarten students on a purpose-built campus. We also offer an excellent Montessori kindergarten facility.
WATU Secondary School which offers Ordinary and Advanced Level secondary education achieves outstanding success not only in its rigorous academic programmes but also in its provision of enriching extra-curricular opportunities.
