by Happy Lazaro Construction of phase one of a 7 billion shillings secondary school for orphans is due for completion in March next year. The boarding school which will cater for form one to six students is being constructed in a 100- hectare piece of land located at Kisongo near Arusha Airport. The school is being constructed by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania, Arusha Diocese with support of sponsors from Minnesota in the United States of America. The land was allocated to the diocese by the government. Bishop Laizer of the ELCT Arusha Diocese told the Arusha Times last week that construction of the first phase of the project started in march this year and would be complete next March. Upon completion of the first phase the school, to be known as Peace House Academy, will admit 640 students from all over the country. . Construction work of structures such as classrooms, dining hall, assembly hall, teachers quarters, a rest house and a workshop is on going and the pace is impressive. Registration for the first batch of entrants will be announced in October this year and they will all be orphans. According to Bishop Laizer the project is meant to be the diocese’s contribution in the national programme for poverty reduction. Bishop Laizer further explained that the overall vision of his diocese is to have some nine secondary schools by next year. The diocese is already running six secondary schools namely Enaboishu, Ekenywa, Kimandolu, Ngateu, Moringe and Maasae Girls.
