What Your Support Helps Us Do
Across Tanzania, newly built community secondary schools provide vital access to education for thousands of students. However, many of these schools face severe resource constraints, including shortages in:
Essential Learning Resources: Textbooks, exercise books, stationery, and science equipment.
School Infrastructure: Dedicated library buildings, dining halls, staff rooms, and modern kitchens.
Basic Utilities & Sanitation: Reliable access to clean water and electricity.
Extracurricular Development: Sports grounds, games facilities, and physical education equipment.
COSES exists to tackle these grassroots challenges directly, transforming under-resourced schools into places of academic excellence and athletic engagement.

What People Think
Receiving textbooks, exercise books, and sports equipment directly in our classroom gave us hope. Knowing that people near and far believe in our education makes us study harder every single day.
From a Secondary School Student
in TanzaniaMany of our schools were built by the community but lacked basic learning materials, libraries, and facilities. COSES understands our exact needs because they are led by teachers who walk in our shoes.
