Seeway Tanzania

Seeway Tanzania SWTz works with orphans and vulnerable children in northern Tanzania
www.swtz.org SWTz is a really cool children's centre in northern Tanzania.

Our children (orphans and vulnerable children) live in a beautiful setting, with a large family house and plenty of space to play, in Imbaseni Village, Maji ya Chai, near Arusha, Tanzania. We also have a community nursery & daycare for 50 local children. Our children (and staff) are happy, healthy, and know their God! We are seeing lives changed. Finally, we partner with a group of international s

chools who bring teams of students to Tanzania to take part in service projects. We build classrooms and teachers' housing at government schools, and we also work with vulnerable families in several communities, building goat sheds (and installing a female milking goat); installing solar systems; and building rocket stoves. We are reaching thousands of children and adults every year through our programmes. We are truly blessed to be a blessing!

Yay!!! Exciting news!! Another building completed! 

The first half of the girls’ dormitory at Ngongongare Secondary School is finished!! Painted beautifully, glass in the doors and windows, floors finished… We are just waiting for the bunkbeds to finish being made (all bunkbeds totally funded by selling donuts to the teams we work with!!) so that 40 girls can start using the dormitory.

Huge thanks to every student, teacher, and expedition leader who travelled to Tanzania and worked so hard to build this! Thank you to everyone for all the amazing fundraising you did to make this possible! Congratulations to our amazing team of fundis and the Seeway team for completing another life-changing building.

Can’t wait until we start again in a couple of months and finish off the shower block and the other half of the dormitory!

We’re still giving out donations we received during the expedition season!! This time Neema and Hedwiga went to Nkoanekoli Primary School, and gave out sports items, school bags, school shoes, exercise books and a lot of stationary items! Did you know that even one pencil or ballpoint pen can make a difference to a student who has nothing to write with, or that if you don’t have a decent pair of shoes to wear to school or a school bag you can be sent home? We work with families who literally have nothing. These donations change lives. Your financial support changes lives. And we can’t do what we do without you helping us and supporting us. Thank you so much to every person who brought over items to give to school children in Tanzania!

The expedition season may be over, but we still have so many other programs running, and projects to get on with. One of our goat shed recipients, Eliafura, needed some extra work done on her house to fix an external door which was falling off and dangerous. We took some cement and tools and mended her door for her. 

We also gave her an old wheelbarrow as we knew she would be able to use it for her farming projects. She was so thankful for the help she received (have a look at the video of her singing!) - we have loved working with her this season, knowing that she will make the most of the hand-up she has been given.

We are able to do these extra projects thanks to the generosity of the school teams we work with - as a little fundraiser we sell Tanzanian donuts (mandazi) on the second day at the building project - a delicious sweet treat to provide some much needed mid-morning energy. The funds raised this year are paying for all the bunk beds for the girl’s dormitory and a whole host of smaller projects as well as Eliafura’s door repair - news to come as we complete them!

Thank you to every student, teacher, and expedition leader who bought a mandazi!

Exciting news!!! We just attended an event to hand over the keys to beautiful Nazareti Clinic (which we have built in partnership with Windermere Preparatory School and Nord Anglia Education) to government officials.

When we arrived at the clinic there were over 70 young mothers with their babies attending a mobile clinic. Babies were being weighed, and receiving vaccinations. This monthly event has been happening at a neighbouring church until now - this was the first time they were holding it at the clinic location. It was very emotional for us to see how the clinic can be used in the future and how much it will help the Nazareti population. Literally life-saving.

We handed over the keys, inspected the buildings, and then had speeches followed by traditional food. We were honoured to have the Meru District Council Chairman Lucas Kaaya with us, as well as one of the Meru District Medical Officers, and a manager from Tanesco, the Tanzania electricity company.

We hadn’t realised that the ripple effect of the project would have a greater than we anticipated… There were many promises made to the village - Tanesco agreed to bring electricity to the village (it only reaches a village 7km away at the moment) so that there could be a fridge in the clinic and the local population would finally have access to power. Lucas promised to repair the main road to the village, improving access. The medical officer promised to have the clinic open with staff by the end of July.

Our part of the project is completed, but we will be following up to make sure that this huge investment into Nazareti is well used and that promises are delivered.

In addition, we have built a food store which, once the clinic is up and running, we want to use to supplement nutrition for pregnant women to ensure that their babies are born healthy. More information on this to come…

Wow! We just built this rocket stove at Eliafura’s house a week ago, as part of her also receiving a goat, goat shed, and solar system to help her and her family. She was so happy to receive our help.

We went back to visit today as we want to fix one of her house walls.

Well, we got a surprise - there were some bits of wood left over from the goat shed last week…so Eliafura made benches to sit around her stove (which she is using and loves!).

So happy we were able to help her and her family, and so thrilled to see what she has done to continue to improve her life. We have no doubt she will look after her goat well to be able to make an income for the long term future.

Ian and Kitoi from Afrikids came to visit us today. It was great to introduce them to our team (including Chuckie the dog!) and share our stories and vision and hear about their very successful education sponsorship program. It’s always inspiring to learn what others are doing to address the challenges young people face. We look forward to continuing the conversation and seeing how, together, we can effectively reach more Tanzanian students! Karibu tena!

We just completed the final expedition of the season with an amazing team from Collège Alpin Beau Soleil led by the inimitable Dai Davies.

It was a lot of fun, coupled with hard work. We laid the entire slab for the toilet/shower block at Ngongongare Secondary) and the first row of bricks for the walls. We plastered inside the dormitory, and now our builders are finishing the walls and floors ready for painting. We also worked with 6 families in Ngyeku village, building goat sheds for the female milking goats we supplied to them; installing solar systems; and building rocket stoves.

The team came with backpacks filled with school supplies to give to Ngongongare Primary - the head teacher Tatu was so excited to receive the bags, and she knows which students need them the most. Thank you so much for these amazing donations!

We had some great sports afternoon at the primary school too. Some of the best parts of the week were the interactions with Tanzanian children who are always so eager to play with us at the schools and out in the community.

It was a wonderful way to end the season. Thank you again, students and teachers from College Alpin Beau Soleil for your hard work, much needed donations, and your compassion - you have changed lives here in Tanzania. We hope to see you back here next year!

Last week we spent a day with the participants on the Nord Anglia Equality Diversity Inclusion and Belonging (EDIB) Champions Expedition, led by Dr. Leslie Williams.

We spent a valuable day in Ngyeku village, working with 4 vulnerable families, building goat sheds, installing solar systems, building smoke-reduced stoves, and donating a female milking goat to each family.

It was a great opportunity to discuss the work Seeway does, from our nursery school, to our child rights program, to the facilitating of projects for expeditions with Nord Anglia Education.

It was a day of vital discussion, laughter, and some hard work measuring, sawing, and hammering. We hope it was as constructive for the EDIB participants as it was for the Seeway team. Together we changed the future outcomes for 4 families.

Thank you so much Leslie for setting up the day, plus David, Mal, and Jen from Nord Anglia Expeditions, who facilitated the day. Again, thanks to Darden who is now a rocket-stove expert…

A huge thank you to and Nord Anglia School Beijing Shunyi for all your hard work last week, and also for the amazing donations you brought over to give to schools and children.

We were excited to begin work on the toilet and shower block at Ngongongare Secondary School for the girls’ dormitory we have been building. You were the first teams to work on the new building and it was great to see the foundations taking shape.

You also did some great work plastering the dormitory cubicles - we are getting close to completion on this building, so thank you for your part in getting it ready!

The soccer match at Ngongongare Primary was closely fought - the penalty shootout at the end was narrowly lost, but you gave all you had!

We also worked with 2 families in Ngyeku village, building goat sheds for the female milking goats we brought for them, installing solar systems, and building rocket stoves. You have changed lives here, and we hope you learned a lot along the way.

We loved working with your teams and hope to see you over here again next season!

Thank you so much to Steve, and Lizzy from Nord Anglia Expeditions, who facilitated the week and made everything run perfectly. Thanks too to Darden, who came along to lend a hand, and ended up running the stove project!

Nazareti Clinic is in its final stages of building - just a few electrical things to sort, cleaning everything, some tweaks here and there…

It is looking beautiful - all three buildings, the clinic, the staff house, and the food bank are 95% ready to hand over to the government and Nazareti villagers are ready and excited for the clinic to be staffed and opened.

We are having a handover celebration on 30th June, and we look forward to sharing photos from this very exciting day for us and the village.

Again, huge thanks to for seeing the need, running with this project, and fundraising for it.
