School Building Project

Sonjo Tribe, Tanzania

​

​Tanzania is home to 131 distinct tribes. The Sonjo tribe is near the Serengeti Plain and Lake Natron. The tribe has a population of 35,000 of which 400 are believers. One of the 12 villages in the Sonjo Tribe has begun the construction of a Christian English School with the help of Pastor Zephania Ngunyi and a local missionary from New Life Church, Gina Helms. Gina has been working with the Sonjo Tribe for 7 years. 

 

Over 37 students currently attend the school despite the dirt floors and unfinished building. Recently a roof was placed onto the building. This is the first of several planned schools for this unreached tribe in northern Tanzania. The Tanzanian government is putting pressure on the ministry to compete this construction project. The project needs $3,500 to complete the exterior finish, interior rooms, and needed furnishings. All additional funds raised will be used to begin construction on other schools in the Sonjo Tribe. These schools will continue to reach these families and their children each day with the gospel through the educational instruction. Troop GA-0456 applauds the mission to disciple these children in the teachings of the Lord. Why Tanzania?

 

Other Ongoing Projects

In addition to the educational needs of these children, the local missionary is also partnering with organizations to provide water filtration, basic practical needs to the village, and evangelical outreach to the Sonjo tribe.
