TEC
is a Boston based nonprofit that supports schools in Tanzania, currently
Tumaini Junior and Senior Secondary Schools. Both are top performing private
schools in the Arusha region of Tanzania. Though private, tuition is reasonable
and a student is never sent home if they become unable to pay fees. About 40%
of students receive some form of financial aid. This
