KISANGURA FRIENDS SCHOOL
(Mugumu) is a Quaker-affiliated school in Mugumu, on the far side of the Serengeti National Park from Arusha. Kisangura came to the attention of Friends of Tanzanian Schools through Eileen Dunne, a Boston-area Quaker who had contributed funds to help feed orphaned children at the school. Friends of Tanzanian Schools learned that many of the children at Kisangura were orphaned by AIDS and were both homeless and hungry. Friends of Tanzanian Schools also learned that Kisangura was having difficulty attracting teachers to its remote location because there was no housing for teachers available. Teaming with New York City architect James Morgan, who agreed to raise funds for and supervise construction of teachers’ housing at Kisangura, Friends of Tanzanian Schools agreed to fund the construction of one teachers’ house. In 2003, the construction took place.
