Welcome to Next Smile Kindergarten!<\/p>\n

\"next-smile-africa-charity-project-01\"Next Smile Kindergarten is a new project running on support from the local community to provide early years of education to children between the ages\u00a0of 3 and 6 and who would be unable to have access to education without our support.<\/p>\n

It was officially established on October 2nd in 2021, the main goals being to provide education and promote Early Childhood development on a charitable basis. Since that time we have worked with the local community to secure land and build two classrooms. Along with support from local teaching volunteers we currently cater to around 20 girls and 10 boys between the ages of 3-6 years old,\u00a0but we are constructing further facilities to allow us to cater to more children in the near future.<\/p>\n

Many of the children we support are from low income families and currently all are from families who cannot afford to educate their children. As such, we currently run the project entirely through community support.<\/p>\n

\"next-smile-africa-charity-project-03\"Our future goal is to make the project financially sustainable, and we plan to operate on a non-profit basis with community funds provided by a small number of paying students from regular families. This will allow us to grow further; supporting more disadvantaged children and allow us to provide education up to a higher age as well.<\/p>\n

As part of developing our project and providing a rounded education, we are also developing a permaculture garden on our land along with other ecological projects. Produce from this land will be used to provide high quality nutrition to the children to help with their development.<\/p>\n

In Tanzania, government’s funded education starts from primary school and only children from rich and middle-class homes can afford private nursery schools.<\/p>\n

The centre provides free,\u00a0quality education, healthcare\u00a0services and a free meal programme for its pupils.\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"next-smile-africa-charity-project-07-augustino\"Augustino Kahayi is the founder and currently running this community preschool as a director, with a vision to keep the project moving forward. His main role is to act as a bridge and a link to use his rich history of experience in similar projects to link the school to the community, donors, volunteers and other friends. This was his idea and goal to help children, inviting others to work together as a team.<\/p>\n

We are a small team starting out but, with God\u2019s help, we look forward to continued growth. As we are a small team we are also looking for people to join us in different activities beyond just the education of the children to help us move the project forward.<\/p>\n

The concept was designed by Mr Agustino Kahayi but financed and built by volunteers\u00a0whose\u00a0hearts\u00a0were moved to help\u00a0marginalized children from low income families to gain\u00a0access to quality education as is available to other children but from middle and rich income families. This mission is supported by local volunteers, volunteers from around the world,\u00a0and the whole community as well.<\/p>\n

Next Smile Kindergarten School appreciates the importance of play in the developmental process of a child, which is the reason why we place special emphasis on our playground.
\nThe Centre is open to children in the community and affords them the opportunity to access a free library and a safe play area, within a serene and secure environment.<\/p>\n

\"next-smile-africa-charity-project-13-playground\"<\/p>\n

Our vision\u00a0is to build more of these preschool centres across remote and poor communities all over Tanzania.<\/p>\n
