Key Information
Music is an important part of the curriculum at the Fanaka School in Tanzania where boys and girls are encouraged to learn to play an instrument as they pursue their education. The school which was founded by the late Rhoda Kahatano, a legendary educator and politician, provides secondary education to 250 students with few options beyond primary school. The band, which has some 20 members, regularly performs at the school’s Parents’ Day Festival, an event that honors Fanaka’s top students and teachers. African Childrens Haven supports the event by providing salary bonuses for the school’s hard-working and talented teachers.
