Making a Difference -“Giving kids a head-start to succeed in life”
Our Story
“Taking a girl to school is a bad investment!” – Proclaimed Kabogo, a father of six girls who was a laborer- worker of mine at my local farm house company in Arusha, Tanzania.
He continued to say, “I don’t want to waste money on a girl going to school because she will get married, benefit my in-laws and stay at home to raise the children.”
A rush of emotions came over me; shock, anger and disappointment. The irony he was missing was I, a girl, was his employer and was paying him a salary.
However in 1998, his way of thinking was the norm and not the exception in my community in rural Arusha.
I realized that the only way to combat this mindset which seemed to be rampant among many parents within my community was to create a Daycare Center for young children- both girls and boys hence Engutoto Daycare Center was born in October, 1998.
My challenge was to convince parents like Kabogo to send me their young children from ages 2 - 5 years old to a daycare Centre where they would learn to read, write, draw and develop their natural creativity.

We started with a success rate of 100% from our first year! We were the first early childhood program in our area and introduced the value of early childhood education to our community. In nineteen years, we have grown from 6 students to 100- an increase of over 1600%! In addition, we are now starting to educate our second generation. Former students are sending their own preschoolers to experience the same values and learning of their own childhoo.
“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”
