Education in Tanzania For 97% of the children living in rural Tanzania, attending secondary school is out of reach due to the long distances between remote villages and boarding schools and their families inability to pay for school fees. The Tanzania Team's current project is located in Mungere Village, Northern Tanzania. The community has two primary schools and no secondary school. The Tanzania Team's first project was located in Lashaine Village in northern Tanzania, a community that had three government-run primary schools with over 500 students each and until 2008, no secondary schools.
