A goal of $ 15,000 has been set for the Scholarship Fund. This amount would allow for the fund to be self-sustaining, assuming an average annual interest rate of 3%. One year’s cost for tuition, fees, and books, or $ 500.00 (whichever is greater), will be electronically transferred to MSLSS’s Scholarship Fund each October.

Many people have been inspired by Martin Msseemmaa’s quiet example of encouraging relationships. This scholarship provides such an opportunity by establishing relationships between students and supporters in the U.S.

Like most secondary schools in the country, Moringe Sokoine Secondary School is a boarding school. It has about 650 students. The school is located in the small town of Monduli Chini. It is nestled into the bottom of a high, green bluff that traverses the Great Rift Valley. It lies just off the paved road that takes tourists from the colorful city of Arusha to safari destinations such as Ngorongoro Crater
and the Serengeti plain. In the mornings and evenings, Maasai boys herd their family’s cattle across the acacia-studded landscape nearby.
