Founder’s Story

Several years ago, a quiet revolution was underway in the heart of the Tanzanian community, where hope was dim in some regions due to limited resources and educational challenges. Nevertheless, one woman and a few passionate individuals driven by a shared belief in the power of education set out to transform the landscape of early childhood learning by forming a foundation called the Early Education Awareness Organization.

For years, this community had struggled to provide its youngest members with a solid foundation for their future. In its infancy, the foundation was regarded with skepticism, often seen as an unattainable idea rather than a crucial building block for growth. However, a small but determined team of educators, parents, and community leaders refused to accept this status quo.

Cecilia Mwakajila, an experienced early childhood educator with boundless energy and an unshakeable commitment, was at the forefront of this movement. Cecilia had witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of quality early education during her years of teaching in international pre-primary schools. Armed with a vision, she rallied a group of like-minded advocates to spearhead change.
