Kitivo is a small village in Lushoto district in the Tanga Region of Tanzania. It is an exceedingly poor village and struggles to stay afloat.

Kitivo Secondary School

Located in the village is a secondary school. This school is partnered with Bramhall High School in England.

For the last few years Bramhall High School has been raising money through the students to help the students and teachers in Kitivo.

Life in school

The students have a few old computers that have been donated by the Bramhall High. They cannot use many because of the lack of power to the school. Bramhall High is organised a sponsored walk to Lyme Park and back, a distance of about 10 kilometers. They hope to raise £30,000 to help pay for a solar cell, a toilet block and a kitchen. To attend Kitivo Secondary School it costs £100 a year which is a lot of money for the people who live in Kitivo, school meal's cost £50 a term. In 1973, with the help from Bramhall High, they have built a Girls Hostel, this houses 700 girls while they are in school. It has no windows and is very basic but the girls adore it. Over the years the weather has changed dramatically.Now the weather is 50 degrees this means that it effects the children terribly.They cannot find much watert around the streets as it is all very contaminated due to hot air and bugs. Most of the water has evaporated.
