Pre-care Education in Tanzania is not free, and many families can’t afford to send their children to a private daycare school.
At Sakapala community Centre we provide a safe nurturing space for children while parents engage in income generating activities.
We offer daycare education at an affordable price from TZS. 25,000 per student per month. And about 45 Students attend our daycare daily. To date 284 students attended Sakapala Community Centre and 1,420 Families benefited.
