Ven. John Merlini Students Explore the Natural Landscapes of the Serengeti
In June of 2021, the Form III students of John Merlini embarked on an annual school trip to the Serengeti to visit the National Park Reserves in Tanzania.
As part of the extra-curricular activities offered at our secondary school, we feel it is important for students to have a comprehensive learning experience, which also includes an educational trip.
Apart from studying about biodiversity in Biology, this trip serves as an extension of learning that involves the senses, providing an opportunity for students to expand their minds and experiences beyond academia. It allows them to tangibly learn about the natural environments they are surrounded by and the importance of local conservation of these natural habitats and the wildlife that live within them.

We would like to announce that since the launch of the #EducationForGirls 2021 campaign in October 2020, so far we have raised a total of $42,050 and have secured full school tuition for 49 girls: 27 primary students and 22 secondary students, which have been allocated for the current school year.
Although, we did not reach our set goal of $100,000 within the six month period, C.PP.S. Mission Projects continues to be dedicated to empowering generations of girls and young women to achieve their dreams and reach for the stars!
Moving forward, we are happy to announce that the #EducationForGirls campaign will continue on an annual basis. We hope to make a positive impact and provide increased opportunities for girls and young women, in poor sectors of Tanzania, to explore their highest potential through education.
We look forward to our continued partnership with YOU!
In addition to our annual commitment of raising funds to empower girls into becoming empowered young women, we are looking to see how we can better support their most essential needs while studying at our C.PP.S. Mission Schools.
More details about this prospective essential school program for girls will be posted in the upcoming weeks. We hope to have the program implemented by 2022. Click here to visit our blog’s home page.

What is Our #EducationForGirls Vision and Goal Moving Forward?
C.PP.S. Mission Projects’ top priority moving forward is to continue investing in girls by running the Education for Girls campaign on an annual basis and hoping to raise a total of $100,000. We want to provide more girls with the opportunity to find their sense of empowerment, attain literacy, and have a safe environment through our education programs in Tanzania. Ideally, the funds will provide full scholarships to 88 girls at St. Gaspar Primary School and 46 girls at Venerable John Merlini Secondary School for the duration of one year. However, depending on the amount raised in the upcoming months, the numbers of girls sponsored may vary. Updates will be provided at the end of each annual cycle.
How YOU Can Make a Difference
Investing and educating girls is one of the best gifts we can give to Tanzania, for today, and for its long-term sustainable development. To empower girls in Tanzania, we need your partnership!
Your support of $65 per month for 12 months (or $450 annually) will provide a girl with 1 year of high quality education at St. Gaspar Primary school.
Any amount of support you can provide is much needed and highly appreciated in our initiative to help end child marriages, child labour, and sexual exploitation through education.
Your support of $110 per month for 12 months (or $1300 annually) will provide a girl with 1 year of high quality education at Venerable John Merlini Secondary school.
