Tengeru Village Development Centre
WHAT IT IS...
Tengeru Village Development Centre was formerly known as Meru View Prep School. Tengeru Village Development Centre is a pre-primary school for underprivileged children in the Terengu region, outside of Arusha, Tanzania. This school is run purely on donations and is completely free to the over 70 students who attend. The students range in ages from 3 to 8 years old. At school, the students are taught in both Swahili and English to try to provide a better future for them. Two meals a day are provided, as well as health care, multivitamins and dental care. The meals at the school are extremely important, as sometimes the only food some of the children will get in day will be the meals provided at school. It is paramount that we keep this school running so the children in Terengu have a chance at a brighter future!

Photos of Tengeru
Below are some photos we took while vising Tengeru in August 2017. The kids are incredible and always smiling! They love to play outside and are so happy to see photos of themselves and their artwork on the walls. You can also see the variety of meals provided for them, including their morning porridge to keep their bellies full and minds active.
The Dental Program
There have been many donations of toothbrushes for each of the students at the school. The toothbrushes stay at school and the students brush their teeth after porridge and lunch. We want to keep these smiles filled with pearly whites!
If you are a dentist or know one who would like to get involved to continue this program, contact us about contributing to the dental program at Tengeru!
