In 2012 A Is For Africa’s founder, Molly Smith, organized a trip to Tanzania with twelve women: sisters, mother, aunts, a cousin and friends.  When asked how can we help, the teachers of Matim Primary School responded with “Please can you help us teach English?”

​

In 2014, 26 books were placed in a cabinet at the back of a classroom.  (There was not a single storybook or any art supplies in the school.)

​

AIFA brought electricity to the school and used laptops were setup.  Teachers were trained and they trained the children. 

​

Today of all the primary schools in the Arusha district, Matim Primary School has one of the very few stand alone libraries and a computer lab.
