BACKGROUND

I grew up in the village of Endanachan, in the northern part of Tanzania, and I am the oldest out of seven siblings. In Secondary School, I specialized in Economics, Geography and Mathematics and after graduating with top grades, I was accepted to join the University of Dar es Salaam, to study a Bachelor in Commerce and Management. I was successful, and when I had finished my undergraduate studies, I got employed by the Ministry of Education to work as a Mathematics and Geography teacher. In 2013, I went back to study a Postgraduate Diploma in Education for one year to further improve my teaching skills. Considering that Isack has already studied and considering that he does have a source of income, however little, it might sound odd that Help to Help decided to support him for his Master of Education in Administration, Planning and Policy Studies. Isack’s dream is to support children who are academically good but who, because of coming from poor families, drop out of school. He aims to help these children, especially girls, to reach their dreams by continuing to study. In order for Isack to fulfill his dream to help others, he needs a Master Degree, if he is going to get authorities and investors to believe in and support his idea. We believe strongly that this passionate young man will succeed in building his own Help to Help organization.

I dream of running my own school, encouraging talented secondary school students from poor families to study at a higher level.

INTERESTS

I enjoy communicating with friends and watching football, where my favorite teams are Simba Sport and Manchester United.
