SHINDA Basic School

The PETNA Foundation has provided funds to the SHINDA elementary school in Tanzania to address a number of critical needs and to make possible enhancements that will improve the learning environment for students, facilitate stronger attendance, and allow more students to graduate to secondary school. Providing chairs and meals for the students, repainting and refurbishing a repurposed container, so it can continue to be used as a classroom, and building a new classroom, are all projects that PETNA has supported at SHINDA Basic School. PETNA has also funded a critical water project for the school, as well as much-needed toilet facilities. Future support will provide further improvements to infrastructure, all of which is intended to help advance students’ progress and increase enrollment.
