Projects

Education is one of the key elements in overcoming gender inequality, environmental degradation, HIV/AIDS, and poverty. This is why OMEGA focuses on grassroots community education projects, to enable local communities and individuals to empower themselves and secure a better future. Currently, all OMEGA projects are in the north central area of Tanzania, East Africa in the Arusha and Moshi areas near the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

We are currently working in northern Tanzania to bring quality education to poor communities that desperately need it.

Here is a list of our most current projects. Please read more about how you can help.

Amani Orphan Secondary School
Amani Orphans Nursery and Primary School was established in 1998. Today, with over 400 students enrolled from nursery school through 7th grade, Amani has reached maximum capacity. Amani is looking for your help to build a secondary school to continue to bring education to the kids that need it most.

Tuamkeni Orphan Care School
In one of the poorest slums in Arusha, Tanzania, 35 little children are getting a head start on education. "Tuamkeni," which translated from Swahili means "Wake Up!" It is the name of a pre-primary school for orphans in an effort to get the community to "wake up" and help the community's orphans. Tuamkeni is looking to construct an actual school building to bring hope and education to children that have lost so much.

Step-by-Step
An inclusive school for learning disabled and able students, Step-by-Step was opened in 2005. Little or no educational facilities for students with learning disabilities are available in Tanzania. Step-by-Step's founder, Margaret Kenyi, envisioned an educational facility where children with learning difficulties, together with students without learning difficulties, could together receive a quality education to reach their highest potential. The Learning Center plans to expand Step by Step into the first "inclusive" primary and secondary school in the Arusha area that will serve as an example for all schools in Tanzania.

Aldersgate School in Babati
This multi-faceted project is connected in name only to the Aldersgate Church in Lubbock, Texas and consists of a Christ-centered school with 800 students. It is also host to a Bible-school, which trains pastors and a child-sponsorship program called "Children of Promise." There are projects within the year to build three dormitories and an administration building on the school grounds.

Mswakini Primary School
With 368 students in only four classrooms, Mswakini Primary School is extremely overcrowded and in serious need of additional classrooms. The administration and community envision developing a complete pre-primary and primary school to continue to serve the great education needs of the Massai people in this impoverished region.
