PROJECT ROTAIONALE ( HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

In the early 1960s when most African countries were in the process of transition from Colonia rule to self rule there was much optimism among the people that the new area was going to provide freedom to be and to do all that was necessary for proper development of all people and places. Yet most of our countries got their independent and declared war on the 3 key enemies to development, disease poverty and illiteracy – 40 + year down the road of our history we are still by and large struggling with this same enemies and one wonders what future holds for our people. Tanzania included:-

 

• ·         With a population of over 39 million people today Tanzania is marking major strides to fight these enemies of sustainable development but many hurdles remain to be cleared 45% of the population is below 14 years old, there is a population growth of over 1.2 per cent and with about 12,700 primary schools and a teacher student ratio of about 1:57 there is question the government cannot be left to deal with this challenge alone.

 

• ·         There are today still many children in some parts of the country aged between 9-13 years who have never been to school at all.

 

• ·         While access to school has greatly improved through the new millennium universal primary education policy of the government the percentage of those that proceed from primary to secondary school has remained very low due to a minimal number of secondary schools.

 

• ·         When the few who get finish their secondary schooling even never get a opportunity to proceed to higher education or a tertiary institution.

 

• ·         There can never be sustainable development in any society without good education and objective education that trains its participants to grow in knowledge and skills that will be applicable in bringing economic growth for both the person and the society in general.

 

• ·         The challenges on the new millennium for Tanzania are well spelt out, education will be a key tool in spurning economic growth that will in turn deal a death blow to poverty and disease the old time enemies of our people.

 

• ·         Education is no longer a privilege in the modern times, good education is imperative for the development of our people both socially and economically. It’s the right of every child to learn how to read and write but more so to learn more than the basics but go on to specialize and build a career, it the best inheritance a parent can give their child in the modern times.

 

• ·         We are strongly motivated by our faith in God and our call to serve our Lord Jesus who himself said, let the little children come to me. Many the children of Tanzania find a home in him who created them and learn from him to build a nation for posterity.

 

WHY NEW VISION PRIMARY SCHOOL?

Having considered the challenges of the new millennium and with a call to bring a difference in Tanzania, HUCADE feels they have a responsibility to join hand in hand with the government of Tanzania and the people of our locality in making difference.

 

• ·         Improve access to education at all levels
• ·         Provide education equitably to all peoples.
• ·         Improve the management of education and better the facilities thereof.
• ·         Finally seek to design ways of bringing about equitable and sustainable facing of education.

 

With this understanding in mind we as a foundation having engaged the local people and being involved in various community based initiatives have realized that we have a part to play in designing the future of this nation and its people through investing into the young generation.

 

We have therefore an objective in and through this project to provide to our children and education that is:

 

Accessible. We plan to build a school that will be within the community so that the children of the community have a choice to go to school and not to travel far to get to a school. With this in mind we plan later on to make the school includes boarding facilities so that children from far can also have a chance to study with us.

 

Continuous and sustainable. We have a desire not only to run the primary level but also later on build a secondary / high school and a tertiary college so that our children can study all the way until they have a career with which they can build their lives and those of their fellow – country men.

 

Quality. We do not go just to build another school; we want to build schools that combine the quality of facilities, teaching, techniques, teachers and end output. With this in mind we have made the school to be an English Medium, Pre-school and primary School with a focus of holistic education that seeks to develop the child mentally, physically and spiritually.

Wholesome. With the aspects of globalization catching – up with us so fast, traditional methods of education while basic and helpful they may not be all sufficient. We target to improve on the basic curriculum by introduction other subjects like music, computers, vocational courses and international languages.

 

Our objective is to provide an education that has a vision and that gives a vision to the children of this nation concerning their future.

 

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

 

• ·         The primary objectives of HURUMA CARE DEVELOPMENT being involved in education are seeking sustainable human development for the community.

We thereby committed to providing the young generation with a high quality education so as to contribute to the impr9ovement of their future and the general quality of life to both the pupils as individuals and the community as a whole.

This shall be a model school providing equal opportunity to quality education for all both rich and poor especially the orphans at our district Arumeru.

 

Our key objective is to build a generation with a vision and a mission to make a difference in their personal lives for their families and community at large.

 

 

 

 

GOAL:

Through education we combat disease and poverty with emphasis on children who we believe are window to development, progress and transformation of the community.

 

 

 

OPERATIONAL METHODOLOGY.

 

Regarding to the six fundamental causes a fore mentioned, for example in collaboration with the community around one of our goals we identify those kids who have no able person to look after them.

 

These are the ones who are especially living in a very difficult condition or circumstances and incur great risk of lacking good, clothes, education, medical care and even death. They experience a lack of resources to meet even by one percent the most basic needs such as food, shelter, education, medical care and protection including emotional healing.

 

After taking them to our centers basically we do the following:- We take them to the medical checkup, feed them, clothed them, and shelter them, we educate then in preliminary and primary education level, emotional healing by using games, funds etc, we try to find sponsors and donors for them, and if possible we try to re-uniting them with their relative families, for those families who will request for them.

 

OUR MISSION AND GOALS:

Mission: Our mission is to create hope and better aspirations for our people, especially the vulnerable groups (i.e. orphans, widows, street children, handicaps and elderly) The need are massive albeit those resources are limited.

 

Goals: HUCADE seeks to serve the community and bring hope into the life of vulnerable group (i.e. orphans etc) by attaining the following.

 

1. To sponsor the children and deal with children care projects especially in educating them providing medical services, emotional needs and psychological counseling.

 

1. In collaboration with other NGO’s Government, and the community in general, we are going to establish a constructive, well thought and permanent HIV/AIDS awareness programmed based on IEC (INFORMATION, Education and Communication) as well as screening counseling in the community.

 

ACHIEVEMENTS

1. We have established a small orphanage center in Arumeru District town – Arusha region, with 11 children – others are in the community where we use to serve them.

 

1. We are intended to open a Nursery school for the orphans and other children from the community to participate.
2. Recruitment of highly qualified and motivated social workers (i.e Teachers, Nurses and Matron etc).

 

1. We have also bought a land of 5 acres for building dormitories for these children.

 

1. We deal with home based care for those who are HIV/AIDS victims by giving them food, medical care and hope in their lives.

 

We believe that these vulnerable groups especially children have their dreams, as

well as their personal gifts, skills and potential, therefore we kindly request you

to share with us on the above goals, mission and vision in order to make the world

a best place to live in for everybody. We believe:- SURVIVAL IS THE FIRST

FREEDOM

 

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS.

 

There are six fundamental causes the problems of having orphans, street, children, widows, ignorance, bitterness, poverty and diseases etc. in the mainland of the country as in all African continent.

 

a)      Low level economic strategies

b)      The rapidly growth of HIV/AIDS pandemic

c)      Alcoholism

d)     The decline of the family structure ( Negligence from the society)

e)      Some of the traditional culture and behavior of the resident

f)       The wounds which were inherited from one generation to another cause by slavery, colonialism and ethnic wars.

 

In general there are many orphans, street children, widows from very poor families. All these groups of people lack both the materials and the psychological support to enable them to grow and survive as normal human beings. As a result we are facing the tragedy or ranging from lack of employment opportunities, poor agricultural performance lack of enough education and the majority lives under the National poverty line. Indeed lack of society attention towards orphans adds fuel to this crisis etc.

 

In some cases this problems have become a burden to the familiars all over the country and some of these groups have become immigrants to the Towns and around begging money and degrading the environment by scattering rubbish; prostitution which ends with bad diseases i.e HIV/AIDS etc. if we help them the crisis could decrease somehow. No other way to deal with such problems if there is no a mercy ministry.

 

DECLINE OF FAMILY STRUCTURE:

 

In traditional extended family, children especially orphans were the responsibility of the whole family community, but these family structure have been weakened.

 

Formally children received the necessities of life from any and every parent in the community orphans was cared for their grandparents or by other relatives.

 

Kinship ties no longer provide a guarantee of security, today we see rampant individualism and cut throat competition, now children no longer belong to the community and their life prospects and upbringing depends on the goodwill and integrity of individual. If every member of the community will have the welfare of children at heat and ready to share directly or indirectly in the responsibility of their upbringing the spectacle of orphans would disappear.

Another of the traditional and behavior of the indigenous many tribes and ethnic group in the country has contributed a lot to those problems. For instance when a girl conceive outside marriage, there is a tendency of chasing her away with the baby from the family. They ever not accept the young baby in the family completely. Therefore there will be no once to take care of the baby and such baby is seen and believed to be a caste, bad women in the family. So he/she is not accepted and became orphans.
