About

Eline’s family works hard on their subsistence farm to make ends meet, but often lack the additional resources to pay for school fees. Eline has two siblings: a younger brother and an older sister. While attending secondary school in Form IV, Eline’s sister became pregnant. Eline’s family supported her through the pregnancy and now, Eline’s sister is back attending secondary school. Eline and her siblings are very thankful that their family supports their education despite obstacles. Eline is very close with her family and hopes to create a new future for them through her secondary education.

Dear TSF sponsors,

This is Tunu, the Communications and Development Manager at Orkeeswa School.

As you may be aware, Orkeeswa School reopened in June after we made several changes on campus to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and community. 

We are proud to let you know that Eline completed her 12th Grade National Exams last month, reaching a milestone that only 28% of Tanzanians reach nationally, and less than 1% of girls in rural areas. She was also recognized for being the most respectful student in her class. We celebrated with her during a small graduation ceremony held at Orkeeswa School. I’ve included a photo of Eline below from their special day.

We were also able to sit down with Eline and reflect on her time at Orkeeswa. The growth that Eline and her classmates have had over the past seven years, and their impact in their homes and community is truly inspiring. 

“Orkeeswa School has been a huge part of my growth. When in 6th grade, I couldn’t speak English and I was so shy! I am not like that anymore. Now I am strong. I have tried new activities and built confidence in myself. I did not understand the importance of education when I began school here, but now I fully understand it.” Eline's Preform 1 reflection

"Graduating 12th grade has been marked as one of my happiest moments. I am really proud of myself. Even my community and family received me in a very proud way with a lot of congratulations. I am now back at school doing a post 12th grade program that prepares us for where we are heading. After it, I will do community service and serve my community as I am waiting for my exam results, which I am expecting good results and going to university." - Eline's post graduate reflection

We know that you join us in celebrating Eline and all of our graduates as we wish them the best in the next chapter of their lives.

Thank you very much for your incredible support that helped make this milestone possible.

With Gratitude,
Tunu and Orkeeswa School

    It was 2009 when I started standard 1. I was very happy to start primary level. When my mother died, it was really painful to me. It is a gap which will never be filled in my heart. After the funeral, I continued my studies. I am thankful I completed the term and passed the exam to standard 2. When I was in class 2, my father was my hope but after my mother's death, he changed and did not take care of me. Instead I was raised by my relatives. In 2010, my father died too and I have lived with my grandmother ever since. I was my parents' only child. Because of these challenges, I have learned that education is the best of all worldly things, better than money which gets used up. Education is the best heritage. I will never give up the chance for education. I really appreciate being selected as a scholarship beneficiary of The School Fund. I will work hard, very hard, to achieve my dream and help less fortunate people

    My dream is to become an accountant and I will get there by studying hard. The moment that I felt proud of myself is when I learned that I passed the Standard 7 National Exams. The happiest moment in my life is when I was selected by the Ebenezer Seminary for my secondary school education. The most difficult experience I had is the death of my my best friend. He died of malaria. Malaria is a disease that can be treated. My friend could be alive if he got proper medical treatment. I learn from his death that we need to help our poor friends with their basic needs. I plan to help the orphans to make sure they can reach their dreams as I will. I will also contribute some of my salary to help the disabled people after my dream comes true.

    Carmen is one of our most dedicated students. She attends all of our events and meetings, and is eager to begin her studies. After graduating high school, she worked as a waitress in Puka Rumi, one of the best restaurants in town. Here, under the mentorship of renowned chef Alejo, she fell in love with the art of cooking and hopes to someday open her own restaurant. In her spare time, she is an athlete. Her favourite sport is volleyball, and she was the only female to compete in last year's Ollantaytambo weightlifting competition! She comes from a humble campesino (rural indigenous) family. Since her father passed away 16 years ago, she and her nine siblings have since been raised by her single mother.
