Marera Primary School Project, Tanzania, 2012
In Tanzania, the Rhotia Valley Foundation offers shelter for 36 orphans in three family homes, and uses a tourist lodge as an environment for a learning and employment project generating income for the family homes. The foundation also focuses on the improvement of the quality of education at Marera primary School, teaching 430 children. In 2011, school buildings have been renovated, school books were purchased, and teachers were trained how to implement laptops in education in light of the One Laptop per Child program. For 2012, extra teaching material is needed. The school would also like to offer a school breakfast and invest in a vegetable garden and livestock, the profit of which can be used for the realization of the school breakfast.
The Turing Foundation will be supporting both the school breakfast and investments in the vegetable garden and livestock with a contribution of €15,000 in 2012.

Teacher Training, Kenia en Tanzania, 2010-2011
In Kenya and Tanzania, Terre des Hommes is working with local partners to improve the quality of secondary education at government schools. Teachers are being trained in modern teaching methods, exam methods and the subjects mathematics, geography, chemistry and English. In Kenya 100 teachers will be trained over a period of 4 years, starting with two-day modules throughout the year that are repeated and elaborated on every year. In Tanzania, 40 teachers will be trained every year during a three-week summer course.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €27,000 to the project.
Update july 2011:
The project's outcome has been disappointing. In Mara, Tanzania for example, only 20 teachers have been trained instead of 40, and teacher training in Turkana, Kenya were given by local teachers instead of professionals from Nairobi. As a result, the costs have turned out to be lower than was previously expected, so our donation has been lowered from €27,000 to €11,284.

Jobortunity Training Institute, Arusha, Tanzania, 2009-2011
At the Jobortunity Training Centre in Arusha, underprivileged youths can enrol in a
one-year training that prepares them for a career in tourism. The centre opened in September
2009 with a teacher training (Training of Youth Programme). In October 2010, 40 students were
the first to complete the training. The training centre is developing income-generating
activities to limit their future dependence on donors.
Following last year's contribution, the Turing Foundation will once again contribute €25,000 in 2011.
