Mount Karmel School Empowering Lives Through Education
Welcome to Mount Karmel School, a beacon of hope nestled in the heart of the Kilimanjaro region, specifically in the village of Kighare. Established in 2016 by Margot Kuijsters, a compassionate nurse with a vision, Mount Karmel School is a testament to the transformative power of education in the lives of underprivileged children in Tanzania.
Our Mission - Providing a Better Future:
Mount Karmel School is not just a school; it's a journey that began with after-school activities in 2016 and has since blossomed into a sanctuary of learning. Our primary objective is to provide a better future for the children of Tanzania. We believe in the power of education to break the chains of poverty and offer opportunities that transcend generations.
Why We Exist - Breaking the Cycle of Poverty:
Margot's inspiration stems from witnessing illiteracy among patients at the Same District Hospital. Motivated by a desire to instill creativity and offer hope to families living in poverty, Mount Karmel School stands as a beacon of change. We are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty by providing an education that empowers and uplifts.
Our Founder, Margot Kuijsters:
Margot, a seasoned nurse, embarked on a mission beyond the walls of the Same District Hospital in Tanzania. Under the auspices of "The Catholic Diocese of Same," Margot passionately leads the development of Mount Karmel School, weaving a story of dedication and positive change.
Evolution Over the Years:
What started as after-school activities has grown into a comprehensive educational initiative. The journey includes the establishment of a library, an indoor play area, and the inception of a kindergarten. In 2022, Mount Karmel gained official recognition as Mount Karmel Pre- and Primary School, offering education in English and expanding its infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of eager minds.
