A private Islamic school in the village of Fuoni, it is named after the founder, Mr Hakeem Abdullah, the family tribe name in the Mafia, pronounced Al Qu-wee.
The school opened on Monday, January 13th, 2014, after four months of preparations. It has 24 classes and provides nursery to secondary education to approximately 600 local students.
Art in Tanzania has been working with Al–Quwiyyi since 2015, sending volunteers to teach the children Maths, English and Science or to assist teachers in various subjects and look after the children in the classroom.
School days are Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 13:00, with lunch at 13:00. From 14:00 to 22:30, the school operates Madrassa classes for approximately 250 students. Any volunteers who can deliver or assist in teaching Arabic, Quran, Tajweed, and Fiqh will be most welcomed. The school would ideally like volunteers to stay longer than two weeks to teach, enabling the volunteers to build a great rapport with the children and staff.
If volunteers are here for a short stay or do not want to teach, they can choose to assist with cooking lunch or assist in the school’s stationary and snack shop.
The school’s founder, Mr Abdullah, has an ambitious plan to build a boarding school with a Mosque, female and male hostel, and accommodation for workers in the near future. He is currently liaising with officials for a suitable plot of land. International organisations would be welcomed to support this project and help make his vision a reality. You can contact the school directly at alquwiyyi@hotmail.com.
If you would like to volunteer at the nursery or donate; your time, skills, money, toys, stationary or school equipment, do contact Edward Busungu at Art in Tanzania and get involved, this is a fantastic school with friendly students with great ambitions and dreams you can be a part of.
Please note that this is an Islamic school, so if you do wish to volunteer, be mindful of the way you dress. All the staff would appreciate you wearing modest clothing, covering your arms, legs, and hair.
