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

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
