Education
Provision believes that education is essential for communities. Education will provide opportunities: empowering people and helping to create sustainable livelihoods for future generations.
St.Peter Claver Primary School
As many of you know, over the past few years, Provision has been working in the community of Luhombero, Tanzania to build an English language primary school. This school is providing children ages 4-12 basic education, in English, to help them and their families escape the poverty that is prevalent in rural Tanzania where the community members are primarily subsistence farmers.
In 2021, we broke ground and the first set of classrooms, teacher’s resource room and an office and washrooms were completed. In January 2022, St. Peter Claver Primary School welcomed it’s first 30 students and 2 teachers. In 2023, a second block of classrooms was completed, and we were now offering primary education from Kindergarten to Standard 3.
This year, we have over 250 students and the children that began their education in 2021 will be completing Standard 3 and now require a classroom for Standard 4. Provision is starting this final block of classrooms (which will include Standard 4-7) this summer to be prepared for the start of the school year in January 2026. This new block will complete the primary classrooms, providing a safe, conducive learning environment for Luhombero children.
We need to raise $75,000 to meet the needs of this school expansion. We are thrilled to announce we have secured a donor that will be providing a match to every contribution given to this campaign that will allow us to double the impact of your generosity to St. Peter Claver School. Every dollar you contribute will be matched dollar-for-dollar! This is an incredible opportunity to make your support go even further making a profound difference in the lives of children and their families in Luhombero.

Aside from providing women with an opportunity for education, Provision understands that financial struggles are not the only limiting factor for women to go to school. In many villages in Tanzania, women who do have an opportunity to go to school often have to travel long distances in order to attend school. Many of these women have to travel late at night along dark roads which can be extremely unsafe. Considering these circumstances, Provision became aware of the need for safe accommodation for female students at Saint Francis University College of Health and Allied Sciences (SFUCHAS) and built a four-story, on-campus residence to safely house 300 students each year. Thanks to this project, the women can safely get the education they are working so hard to learn.
