EWB-BPC is a nonprofit organization that focuses on international development. Currently our projects are in Mkutani, Tanzania.

The Mkutani community struggles to provide education facilities adequate for the necessary progression of the primary school students. The students in Mkutani are crowded into too few classrooms and there is no library or study space with lighting for the students to prepare for crucial exams once it becomes dark. Consequently, many students repeat 4th grade and do not pass national exams which allow them to continue their education at a nearby secondary school.

Currently, EWB-BPC is working on a project to design and construct a multipurpose classroom and learning center. These classrooms will have the capability to provide students with a better educational experience during the day, while also providing adults with vocational education in the evenings. Break out study spaces are also being incorporated, as well as simple, natural aesthetic features to make the experience of going to school more exciting. We are also excited to be able to utilize solar power and expand the grid to achieve lighting for evening work and adult education classes! We are in the design phase for this project with construction planned for 2023. Our team is looking forward to designing and building an innovative, flexible learning space for people of all ages in Mkutani. However these great projects are not cheap and come with a hefty price tag! Will you assist our nonprofit in managing the team?
