School Buildings and Grounds : Pocketful of Joy

School Buildings and Grounds

Over the years, Pocketful of Joy has built several new buildings and renovated a number of old ones.

We have also planted tree nurseries at each of the schools. This is both to replace the wood we harvest for use in our programs and to lessen erosion and the harmful effects of deforestation seen throughout the region.

Our accomplishments include:

construction of libraries at two schools
construction of rainwater cisterns at all three schools
construction of latrines at all three schools
construction of reading huts at two schools
construction of temporary kitchens at all three schools
tree nurseries at all three schools

What is still needed?

kitchen renovations at all three school
ongoing classroom renovations at Nyakatare Primary School

Our Mission

Pocketful of Joy is a 501©3 non-profit organization which provides healthcare and educational opportunities to children living in northern Tanzania. The inspiration for Pocketful of Joy comes from the children and we believe that communication with them is essential in fulfilling our roles as facilitators and allies. Our work is based on the belief that a good education and access to resources such as healthcare are vital in achieving one’s full potential, both as an individual and as a member of a larger community. This belief fuels Pocketful of Joy’s work and we are wholly committed to empowering children in their pursuit of a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.
