Dar es Salaam - The Rotary Club of Bahari Dar es Salaam recently held its 11th Annual Fundraising Golf Tournament at Gymkhana Grounds aimed at raising Tsh 40 million, to transform the teaching and learning environment at Mtakuja Beach Secondary School in Kinondoni District.

The Mtakuja Beach Secondary School serves almost 1500 pupils and is housed in a campus in the Kunduchi area. The Rotary Club of Bahari, in partnership with the business community, Rotary Foundation and the school will be investing in rehabilitating the water and sanitation systems in the school, so as to bring sanitation and hygiene services directly to the children, thereby reducing their exposure to waterborne diseases. Creating healthier water systems in schools creates a positive cycle by significantly improving school enrollment, attendance and improved academic performance.

Children who attend school and learn positive health behaviours like washing hands take these behaviours home to their families. The project will also assist the school to rehabilitate the classrooms and the furniture and also provide assistance to the school in accessing a reliable printing service.

Speaking during the event, the Rotary Club of Bahari President, Rotarian Diamond Carvalho said the objective of the project is to form an effective partnership between the school management, the Kinondoni Municipal Council, the parent community and The Rotary Club of Bahari, to transform the learning environment and put in place processes to ensure that the improvements are sustainable thereby resulting in lower school drop-out rates, decrease in the spread of diseases and an overall improvement in educational achievement. 


President Diamond believes that by engaging and working together, Mtakuja Beach Secondary School can become amongst the leading schools in the region and a model for effective partnership between the school and the community.

He said that the past ten annual golf tournaments have raised over Tshs 300 million which contributed towards various club service projects, making a significant difference in the community especially providing support to the underprivileged.


In the past, The Rotary Club of Bahari has supported projects that aim to improve literacy, sports and creativity, building of school libraries and equipping the libraries with textbooks and youth economic empowerment. The Rotary Club of Bahari also made a donation to Sister Carmel Welfare Center for underprivileged girls and built two tailoring rooms, donated ten sewing machines and five knitting machines so as to sustainably empower the underprivileged women economically.


The sponsors for this year’s golf tournament are: Allmol Freight Services Ltd, ASAS Group of Companies, Axieva Africa, Bank of India (T) Ltd, Bankable (T) Ltd, Clear Services Ltd, Coral Beach Hotel, Freight Forwarders Tanzania, Heritage Insurance Co Tanzania, I-Print Ltd, J. H. Minet & Co Tanzania Ltd, Jamana Printers Ltd, Jubilee Insurance Company of Tanzania, NAS Tyre Service, NBC Ltd, Neelkanth Salt Ltd, Palm Beach Casino, SBS Tanzania Ltd, Soft-Tech Consultants Ltd, Tarmal Industries Ltd, Toyota Tanzania Ltd, Tridea Cosmetics Ltd.

This year Minet Insurance have sponsored golfer t-shirts and a special prize of a pre-owned vehicle to one golfer who can hit a hole in one on the 10th Hole. This should provide additional excitement and competition amongst our golf community.


"We expect around 120 golfers this year,” said Carvalho, noting, “it’s going to be another great year and we are very grateful to our sponsors who have continued to support us in this grand social undertaking”.
