A nursery in Gongo la Mboto, supported from Recco.

Beroya Nursery Trust is a locally run project: every day it welcomes children aged 3 to 5 from the community of Gongo la Mboto, on the edge of Dar es Salaam, and prepares them for primary school. Rekko ETS has funded it in full since 2018.

What it does

A day at Beroya

Learning activities

Play, language, numbers and classroom habits: what it takes to reach primary school with a fair chance of succeeding. One class, mixed ages.

One meal a day

Every child eats at the nursery. For many families it is the reliable meal of the day.

A medical day every year

A check-up for every enrolled child, with local health staff.

A point of reference

Informally, the nursery is also an information point for families in the neighbourhood: where to turn, what to do.

Medical day

A check-up for every child, once a year

Local health staff see every enrolled child: weight, growth, a malaria test. The Beroya team filmed this video during the 2026 medical day.

Why it is here

Rekko also works beyond Central America

Beroya is small, concrete and rooted: one community, one nursery, a local team that runs it. Rekko ETS covers salaries, running costs, the food programme and the medical day. Gifts for Guatemala stay in Guatemala, and gifts for Beroya stay at Beroya.

Who runs it
  • The Beroya teamDay-to-day running in Gongo la Mboto: teachers and local staff.
  • Mwana JumaMember of the association in Tanzania and main contact (now based in Germany).
