Lolera Primary School
Our sixth school. Block A, the teachers' house and the toilets were funded by the Bücherbörse Köln in 2025, and the Bücherbörse Stuttgart is taking on the well.

Behind each of our seven schools is a community.
We finance, Lalahe and Lazaro coordinate, the communities build with us. Five schools are completed, and we are currently working on two more. Here you can see where things are happening.
No two schools came about the same way.
Some we helped build from the start, others we joined later, and one now runs entirely without us.

Zaburi Primary School
Subvillage of Makuyuni. Previously, children had to walk over four kilometers on an unlit main road to get to school. Since 2024, they learn right next door.

Makuyuni Juu Primary School
The community has been building here since 2006. We joined in 2022 and carried on building with them. In 2025, the school was handed over to the government. Today, 399 children learn here.

Selela Nadosoitok Primary School
Before: a classroom made of sticks and mud. Today: 467 children, nine classrooms, and a community that continues building on its own.

Orkisima Primary School
Lalahe's father lives here. 403 children, seven classrooms, a well for 3,200 people. Handed over to the government in 2022.

Handed over & passed on
Idimayii Primary School
Our first school. Expanded with the Lomiyon community in 2018, later handed over to the government. Today the government runs the school, and another non-profit organisation looks after its further development.
Under construction
Lolera Primary School
Block A is complete, and the teachers' house, toilets and well are under construction. The first €76,000 came from the Bücherbörse Köln in 2025, and the Bücherbörse Stuttgart is funding the well.

Under construction
Meleleki Primary School
In Meleleki, the community has already made a start: it built Block A itself before we came along. From 2026/2027 we will carry on with the Bücherbörse Stuttgart.
Where we are currently building.
Two schools are currently under construction, Lolera in northern Tanzania and Meleleki. Lolera is funded by the Bücherbörsen in Cologne and Stuttgart, while in Meleleki the community made a start by itself.
Meleleki Primary School
Our seventh school. The community built Block A itself, and the Bücherbörse Stuttgart is the main sponsor for everything else.
