Tumaini Friends Pre & Primary School was founded by a German–Tanzanian children’s aid organization that has been caring for orphaned and vulnerable children for many years. Through this work, it became clear: these children do not only need a home — they need excellent education and real future opportunities.
Inspired by the idea that “the last shall be first”, we built a school where children are seen, protected, and empowered. Today, Tumaini Friends stands for quality education, strong values, and real chances for every child — regardless of their background.
We believe education is more than exams. It is about character, skills, confidence, and hope.

True education is the process of discovering and cultivating the brilliance within every child. Here at Tumaini Friends, we have built a foundation based on a profoundly safe environment and a team of outstanding educators whose primary goal is to bring your child’s inborn potential to the forefront.
We recognize exactly what society requires from its future leaders. Consequently, we provide a forward-thinking, twenty-first-century education designed to ensure our students can compete academically with their peers in Europe and across the globe.
Yet, global excellence must never come at the expense of local identity. No matter how far our students go, they will always stay firmly rooted in Tanzanian values and the strength of our community
