Teach English & Learn Swahili – Join Our Language Exchange

The experience

We are far from taking it for granted that children from the slum area in Dar es Salaam
Mbagala Majimatitu Maliasili can go to kindergarten. Here it is extremely important that
the children aged 3-5 years can attend a so-called "early education school". This is the
only way they will later have a chance of being admitted to a school. Primary school
requires children to be able to read and write and to be able to solve simple arithmetic
