Nurturing Bright Futures Through Education

History:
Cherith Junior School was proudly established in 2013 by the dedicated Mr. Fredrick and Mrs. Dorothy Mbise in the scenic area of Maji Ya Chai, located near the vibrant city of Arusha in Tanzania. Motivated by their strong passion for education and a heartfelt desire to contribute to the growth and development of their local community, they took the initiative to found the school. Their goal was to provide high-quality education and valuable support to the children living in the surrounding region, ensuring they have the opportunities needed to thrive and succeed in life.
