Canadian International Learning Foundation Scholarship

Two students from Katumbi Village in Mahale have been picked to go to a Private secondary School in Kigoma on a Canadian International Learning Foundation Scholarship.
Bill Moshi (male) aged 15.  Bill came second in his class of 67 students.  He wants to be a teacher, loves football and the environment and has good leadership potential. 
 
Sango H Ramadhani (female), lives with her grandmother and doesn’t have the means to go to secondary school.  She was the best female student in her class, and would like to do even better if she gets a chance to go to secondary school. Sango thinks that she will go really far in life if she is given this opportunity to go to secondary school.  She loves learning.
We now have 4 scholarship students at School in Kigoma and I am excited to watch how Bill and Sango do at their new school.
A Big thank you to the Aldred family.

Raleigh International

I am so excited, the first two groups of students from Raleigh International have started their 2 week experience in Katavi, partnered with the Nomad Trust they are building rocket stoves in households, both in Usevya and Kibaoni.  I hope that we will start to see a real decrease in the amount of firewood used as the rocket stoves become more common place.

A big thank you to Farm Africa for donating GBP 1500 to the Nomad Trust and the valuable work that we do in Tanzania.  It is an amazing donation from an organization that I have admired for many years, ever since my father ran their operations in Northern Kenya.  Thank you Farm Africa!

Piaya school Desks

With thanks to a visit from a donor who went to Piaya school, Nomad Trust has been able to fund over 250 new desks for the students to save them from sitting on a dirt floor.A big thank you to Anne for making this happen.  Without Anne's generosity we would not have been able to provide the desks.
