Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Since 1988 Christ Church Greenwich has had a long-standing relationship with the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro (DMK) in Tanzania, East Africa. Through that connection Endupoto Primary School was “born”.
In an exciting and thankful celebration on October 8, 2016, the first class of 38 students graduated from the Endupoto Primary School, which opened in 2008 and teaches children in kindergarten through 7th grade. Two-thirds of the graduating class successfully passed the national exam to attend secondary school in January 2017. The joyous occasion of distributing certificates to the students with song, speeches and dance was paired with a spirit-filled church dedication and delicious meal of goat and rice. The primary school employs 14 teachers and 775 Maasai girl and boy students are enrolled in 2023.
