When teacher, Catherine from Port Fairy in Victoria fell in love with Tanzania, it wasn't just for the fauna and flora. She fell in love with the people and one person in particular, local man Seif.
This episode tells their story and what Seif thought when he first arrived in our beautiful country coastal town of Port Fairy. Within a week, Seif starting working in the local supermarket and it was then that he encountered food waste and realised that Tanzania was so much poorer than Australia.
Seif also recognised that many families in Tanzania are trapped in a cycle of poverty due to a lack of educational opportunities and as a result, Seif and Catherine started the enormous project of building a primary school in a town called Mto wa Mbu.
The Bandari project is an incredible program and with volunteers from Port Fairy and other parts of Australia, they were able to go to Tanzania and begin building the school one class at a time. Part of their aim is to make the school as financially and environmentally sustainable for the local people to take ownership of and to lift the entire community along with the school.
There are many ways to support The Bandari Project including donation, sponsoring a student, the teacher for teacher program or leaving a bequest in your will. Such a small amount from us makes a huge impact in Tanzania.
