Seven communities. Seven schools. One idea that lasts.
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.
Seven schools, seven stories.
Each school came about differently. Some we helped build from the start, others we took over, and one is running without us today. Seven communities, seven paths.

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 took over in 2022 and continued construction. In 2025, the school was handed over to the government. Today, around 399 children are learning 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
Here lives the father of Lalahe and Lazaro. 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 it's in other hands - and that's exactly right.
Under construction

In preparation
Meleleki Primary School
In Meleleki, they have already started. The community built Block A themselves before we joined. With the Bücherbörse Stuttgart, we will continue in 2026/2027.
Where we are currently building.
Two schools are currently under construction: Lolera (6th) in northern Tanzania and Meleleki (7th). Both in their own ways: Lolera through Bücherbörse Köln and Stuttgart, Meleleki together with the local community.
Meleleki Primary School
Seventh school. Block A is already in place, built by the community itself. We join in - main sponsor Bücherbörse Stuttgart e.V.
