“I am Shaibu Hamadi Shaibu, the father of Aziza Shaibu Hamadi. I transferred my daughter from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania due to her poor academic progress. When she joined Turini Primary School in 2023, the headteacher advised she repeat grade three. Later, she joined the Jifunze program by Uwezo Tanzania, and I supported her by providing school meals. I noticed remarkable changes as she learned to read, write, and do math in a short time; she often read books and magazines to me at home.
I appreciate teacher Mdoe for his dedication and follow-up with students and commend Uwezo Tanzania for their support. The text messages with learning contents I received two times a week from Uwezo helped me supervise her studies at home. I urge this program to continue, as it is truly transformative.” Shaibu Hamadi Shaibu, a Parent at Kisarawe District.
