Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy

Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy (MNMA) was our third institution located in beautiful Kigamboni. This University was the furthest away taking some of us us between 3-6 hours each way. This was due to the different transport methods we had to take (i.e. walking, buses and ferry) and the awful traffic jams especially during rush hour. It is quicker to take the ferry across the harbour than it is to drive around the coast. We taught several classes here but with less response and numbers of students than we would have liked. However, as we had such great success at the other two institutions we continued to teach and worked with some lovely students who were very passionate and driven. From what we have seen, Tanzania has some very promising youths coming through their education system so it is vital they are given full support before entering the job market to ensure they are fully prepared.
