Mapinga Moyo (Moyo wa Mapinga – Heart of Mapinga) Educational and Vocational Center Mapinga, Tanzania Art in Tanzania Tanzanian/Finnish-NGO Director Kari Korhonen Design Team Moriah Arrato Gavrish Frances Jemini Financial Advisor Rick Jones General Contractor Clement Chitopela Surveyor Nassor H. Duduma Headmaster Obeid Rusumo Project Overview Art in Tanzania is building an educational, vocational and recreational center that will be established in Mapinga, Tanzania. Mapinga Moyo will focus on providing education and vocational training for the rural areas of northern Tanzania as well as provide the area with several additional resources. Through phased construction, the plan is to build a nursery, primary and secondary school, an art education center, housing for the staff and volunteers, housing for boarding students, a tropical fruit farm utilizing sustainable eco horticultural processes, a water reclamation area and recreational facilities such as football and basketball fields and areas for other sports. It is expected that through providing education to the children and art and vocational training to the adults, that it will be possible to have a direct and positive effect on the well being of the community. The use of sustainable processes will ensure that Mapinga Moyo has very little impact on the local ecology and will in turn help by giving jobs and additional resources to the developing area. Art in Tanzania will operate with full and part time staff members during the construction as well as during the running and operation of the schools and recreational centers. Additionally, volunteers will each participate in different ways to accomplish the construction and then provide assistance for the educational and vocational programs at Mapinga in cooperation with the staff. Periodic (annual) evaluations of the staff and the efficiency of the programs will be conducted to assess the improvement of education of the children in northern Tanzania. Background Information Art in Tanzania (AIT) is a Tanzanian non-profit organization (NGO); also registered in Finland, that arranges vocational training, school teaching, orphan education and women’s educational projects in towns and villages in Tanzania. With Finnish and expatriate members working together with numerous small local Tanzanian NGO-s, schools, women groups and other small entities, AIT is able to arrange short and long-term voluntary work in various areas such as teaching English, IT training, health (HIV, malaria), women support, arts and handicrafts, music, sports, environmental awareness and conservation projects. Established in 2001 by director Kari Korhonen, AIT has grown from one volunteer center in Dar es Salaam to many volunteer centers all over Tanzania. AIT now operates in Dar es Salaam, Moshi, Arusha, the Masai tribal lands and Zanzibar. Housing around 100 volunteers in the country at any one time, AIT employs 60 permanent staff members to run the projects and to assist the volunteers. AIT finances its operations by the volunteer’s placement fees and from the proceeds from the safari and adventure programs that are arranged for the visiting volunteers. The Mapinga area of the Bagamoyo region of northern coastal Tanzania is a sparsely developed coastal area. The nearest village has an approximate population of 4,000 and lacks any substantial schools for its population of children. Several large corporations have bought parcels of land in the areas surrounding the many coastal fishing villages in preparation to develop the areas with tourist villages, hotels, golf courses, shopping areas and several other venues for international visitors. Several kilometers away beyond the new Chinese bridge project that connects Mapinga to the Bagamoyo road is the Baobab Secondary School, an all girls’ boarding school, so the area is not devoid of educational facilities – it is just lacking educational opportunities for the majority of children in northern coastal Tanzania. Project Detail Starting with the construction of classrooms, offices, and staff and volunteers housing – to be able to accommodate the volunteers and staff assisting in the construction – AIT is planning on being partially operational by August of 2009 to open the first classrooms and start education oriented projects, sports programs, HIV awareness classes and related projects at the villages. The school will serve the surrounding villages as well as several remote areas around northern Tanzania which are in critical need of new schools. Beginning with the clearing of land for construction, the creation of the main road into the site and the laying of sewer and electricity lines as well as the building of a storage/equipment shed, the first phase of construction includes eight classrooms to house the first nursery and primary classrooms and accommodation facilities for the teachers and volunteers/interns participating in the operations. The second phase will see the completion of the nursery and primary schools, the construction of additional staff housing, the creation of a large communal gathering space with attached kitchen and cooking facilities, the center’s administration buildings, and the creation of some additional recreational areas. The third phase includes the construction of a secondary school as well as the first section of housing for boarding students and more housing for staff and volunteers. Phase Four will finish the full compliment of the boarding school accommodations as well as provide the complex with a dispensary. Phase Five sees the construction of an art center which includes facilities for performance art, fine arts, video and audio recording, and additional classrooms and offices. Phase Six is an eco-farming project that will allow a partnering organization or higher education institution to work with AIT to help Mapinga Moyo remain a sustainable development. Mapinga One Land Clearing The thirteen acres of donated land located one kilometer from the Indian Ocean on the outskirts of a small town in the Bagamoyo region of Northern Tanzania are rife with palm, pecan, and baobab trees, bushes and sandy soil. Clearing of the land is required in the areas to be used for construction and a main road into the site is required to be cut into the brush and sand. The sustainable practice of adhering to the area of disturbance in the areas of future construction is to be maintained to ensure the least amount of damage to the natural ecology. Infrastructure Once the land has been cut back to allow for the new construction, infrastructure must be brought in and laid out to allow for the buildings to receive electricity and sewer services. Phase One includes the basic lines of these services to be extended appropriately for all phases of construction. As the public water lines are too far from the site, wells will be dug to ensure enough water to facilitate construction. A water survey is being conducted to establish the best placement for all well locations. Additionally, an equipment/storage shed will be constructed to house construction materials safely on site. Nursery and Primary School The new primary school in Mapinga is an initiative between Art in Tanzania and a group of world-wide volunteers who have participated in Art in Tanzania’s programs in the past. The school will be part of the first phase of construction on the plot surrounded by the rest of the complex to be developed for future use. The Mapinga One plan calls for eight classrooms, in four blocks of two. Each classroom will measure 31’-0” x 29’-0” which would allow approximately 40 children per class; 320 in total. Each classroom building will also include two office/storage rooms to accommodate a headmaster’s office, school manager’s office, storage spaces, a teacher’s break room, etc. Additionally, there will be detached bathroom facilities for boys and girls – four toilets and two sinks each. Staff/Volunteer Housing Along with the construction of the classrooms, the construction of housing for the volunteers and staff of the primary school will be built as well. The building will be constructed to accommodate 14-18 volunteers and staff during the first phase of construction and will be adjacent to the construction of the primary and nursery schools. Bathrooms with showering facilities and a temporary indoor/outdoor kitchen/cooking area will also make up part of the construction of this phase. Recreational Field A half-sized football field will be marked out, cleared and seeded with grass to allow for recreational use for the school children. For full details, see attached master and floor plans. (Appendix A & B) Mapinga Two Nursery and Primary School Additions With the creation of several additional pods of classrooms, the nursery school and the primary school can grow to their desired sizes in the second phase of construction. An additional two pods will be built to accommodate two classrooms each for the nursery school and each of the five standards of primary school. Recreational Field A paved basketball court will be created for the school children. Auxiliary Buildings A parking lot will be allocated and graveled at the front of the site just off the main road. Adjacent to the parking lot will be a new administration building with offices and a supplies shop as well as a barber shop. A new kitchen will be needed to take the place of the temporary kitchen in the staff/volunteer building once classes are in session. Connected to the new kitchen building will be the covered dining space to be used also for a gathering area. This is to be a paved and covered seating and assembly area measuring roughly 120’-0” x 60’-0”. The shop, kitchen, pantry/storage and attached covered dining/assembly area will all be close by the classrooms. Natural fencing around the site will be constructed to ensure security and a new gate will be installed at the newly formed parking lot. Additionally, a security guard booth will be required at the front gate. Staff/Volunteer Housing Along with the construction of the dormitories, the construction of an additional building for the volunteers and staff will be built. The building will accommodate an additional 20-26 volunteers and staff as well as provide bathrooms with showering facilities. For full details, see attached master and floor plans. (Appendix A & B) Mapinga Three Secondary School The secondary school will be part of the third phase of construction adding to the rest of the complex. The Mapinga Three plan calls for eight classrooms, in four blocks of two. Each classroom will measure 31’-0” x 29’-0” and each classroom building will also include two office/storage rooms to accommodate the academic headmaster’s office, storage spaces, a teacher’s break room, a library, etc. Additionally, there will be detached bathroom facilities for boys and girls – four toilets and two sinks each. Boarding School The Mapinga Three plan will also see the building of the facilities for the boarding of forty boys and forty girls and accommodation for one head-of-house staff member. Besides the dormitory, the building will also include bathroom and showering facilities for the boarders, a laundry room, custodial space and storage spaces. Staff/Volunteer Housing Along with the construction of the dormitories, the construction of an additional building for the volunteers and staff will be built. The building will accommodate an additional 20-26 volunteers and staff as well as provide bathrooms with showering facilities. For full details, see attached master and floor plans. (Appendix A & B) Mapinga Four Boarding School The Mapinga Four plan sees the creation of three additional boarding facilities to accommodate an additional 160 boarders. This will require each additional building to provide bathroom facilities, laundry rooms, storage spaces, an additional head-of-house bedroom for each building and custodial spaces. Dispensary A small building to house a dispensary will be constructed adjacent to the classrooms as well as the dormitories. The building will house a nurse’s station, two exam rooms, two bathrooms and resting rooms – one for boys and one for girls. For full details, see attached master and floor plans. (Appendix A & B) Mapinga Five Art Vocational Training and Educational Center The fifth phase of construction is the creation of an art center that will include training and educational facilities for many art related vocational programs. The Mapinga Five plan calls for an educational art building which includes video and audio recording and editing spaces, a conference/meeting room, two classrooms, two offices, storage rooms, bathroom facilities, a break room/recreational room, a library, a fine arts studio, a dance studio, a performance space, a supply room, a computer lab, a dark room, etc. Additionally, there will be a detached bathroom building to accommodate those who attend live performances. For full details, see attached master and floor plans. (Appendix A & B) Mapinga Six Water Processing Water reclamation is a process by which water used in houses and businesses goes down the drain and becomes wastewater, which is then cleaned using biological and chemical processes so the water can be returned to the environment safely to augment the natural systems from which they came. Utilizing water reclamation on site would allow Mapinga Moyo to be less reliant on the public water resources and help support a sustainable ecosystem. Namely, the reclaimed water could be appropriately used in conjunction with the eco-horticulture farming project. Eco Horticulture Project As a cooperative with an organization or university, AIT is creating an internship opportunity for one or more interns to set up an eco-friendly means to tropical fruit farming on site. In collaboration with the water reclamation project, AIT hopes to create a system of farming and conservation that will preserve the eco system of the coastal region by adopting eco-friendly and sustainable farming practices. These practices will help encourage a reduced dependence on the land, resulting in reduced pressure on ecology and increased employment for the local rural population. Through this initiative we hope to bring together scientists, farming communities, experienced eco-farmers, policy makers and people who care for the environment to exchange best practices to sustain financially viable and eco-friendly farming practices on the site and hopefully encourage the growth of these practices throughout the greater region well. (See Appendix D) For full details, see attached master plan. (Appendix A) Goals and Objectives AIT’s main objective is to enhance the quality of life in the rural villages and for the orphans, women and tribal people of northern Tanzania. Through the Mapinga Moyo project AIT hopes to: To enhance the existing educational programs of Northern Tanzania. To provide more opportunities for educational programs to the Bagamoyo region of Northern Tanzania. To provide the Bagamoyo region of Northern Tanzania a center for the arts to foster artistic and vocational training and education to children and adults alike. To preserve the eco system of northern Tanzania by adopting eco-friendly and sustainable farming practices. Clientele The groups that will benefit from this new school complex include a vast majority of children of school age in northern Tanzania, many Tanzanians from the Bagamoyo region that want to further their art education or to learn a vocation and many children from all over Tanzania that will come to board and learn. In addition, the local towns and many of the local businesses and farmers will benefit from the economic growth. Methods The demarcation of the site involved setting the full boundaries of the site and discovering the survey points and the topography of the land. The phased master site plan has been created and the cost estimations are based on the individual phases of construction. The estimating is based on current construction costs and is susceptible to future inflation. The construction will start once the land has been cleared, wells are dug for water supply, and the sewer and electricity lines are brought into the site from the neighboring town. The construction of a temporary building to house supplies and equipment and a temporary water holding tank will then be built to allow the construction crews to begin work. Once temporary housing is built, construction staff and volunteers can then begin work on the first classrooms and the permanent housing building. Once the first classroom is built, teachers can begin holding classes while construction continues through the first phase. Once there is permanent housing on site, construction staff and volunteers can continue building each phase of construction as the funding allows.

Obeid Rusumo – Head Master – Current head master of One Nursery and future Head Master of Mapinga Moyo. Available Resources AIT finances its operations with the small profits made from the attending volunteers as well as from other financial resources such as safari programs. They provide adventure packages for attending volunteers such as wild life safaris, coral island sailing trips, climbing Kilimanjaro, weekend trips to Zanzibar and other adventures. These adventure operations as well as a portion of the individual volunteer fees assist AIT financially to run and develop many community work projects; therefore AIT will be able to allocate portions of these monies towards Mapinga Moyo throughout the construction process. Many of the necessary staff is readily available to AIT as many of the staff positions that are required for the project start-up are existing staff members within the organization. AIT already has a Head Master ready to run the new school. In addition, AIT has an experienced construction foreman. The many volunteers AIT receives throughout the year are also able to assist in construction. Needed Resources Personnel During the first phase of construction, the construction team will be working remotely – busing to the site daily. Once the construction of temporary housing is complete, there can be construction staff on site. Once construction of the permanent housing is complete, staffing Mapinga One will require Art in Tanzania to allocate 1-2 team leaders, some possibly from its existing volunteer houses in Tanzania and Zanzibar, in order to get the programs set up and to organize the use of volunteers in the construction process. Once construction of the classrooms has begun, AIT will work with the Head Master to hire two nursery school teachers, 14 primary school teachers and 8 secondary school teachers as well as help allocate AIT volunteers in assisting with the teaching of the nursery, primary and secondary schools. Most of the teaching positions will be filled by Tanzanians in a hiring process but Mapinga Primary initiative encourages volunteers to participate as well. Additionally, AIT will need to hire 4-6 administration staff to help with the overall operations of the separate schools as well as the art center.

Water Reclamation Processes Wastewater must pass through numerous systems before being returned to the environment. Here is a partial listing from one particular plant system: Barscreens - Barscreens remove large solids that are sent into a grinder. All solids are then dumped into a sewer pipe at a Treatment Plant. Primary Settling Tanks - Readily settable and floatable solids are removed from the wastewater. These solids are skimmed from the top and bottom of the tanks and sent to the Treatment Plant. Secondary Treatment - The wastewater is cleaned through a biological treatment method that uses microorganisms, bacteria which digest the sludge and reduce the nutrient content. Air bubbles up to keep the organisms suspended and to supply oxygen to the aerobic bacteria so they can metabolize the food, convert it to energy, CO2, and water, and reproduce more microorganisms. This helps to remove ammonia also through nitrification. Secondary Settling Tanks - The force of the flow slows down as sewage enters these tanks, allowing the microorganisms to settle to the bottom. As they settle, other small particles suspended in the water are picked up, leaving behind clear wastewater. Some of the microorganisms that settle to the bottom are returned to the system to be used again. Tertiary Treatment - Deep-bed, single-media, gravity sand filters receive water from the secondary basins and filter out the remaining solids. As this is the final process to remove solids, the water in these filters is almost completely clear. Chlorine Contact Tanks - Three chlorine contact tanks disinfect the water to decrease the risks associated with discharging wastewater containing human pathogens. This step protects the quality of the waters that receive the wastewater discharge. One of two procedures is then followed according to the future disposal site: Reclaimed Water Pump Station - The pump station distributes reclaimed water to users around the City. This may include golf courses, agricultural uses, cooling towers, or in land fills. Water is passed through high level purification to be returned to the environment. Currently this means a reverse osmosis system. Appendix E. Dissemination Plan How we keep the parties informed about the development / accountability Appendix F. Time Line Appendix G. Cooperating Agency Descriptions If you have referenced in your proposal different cooperating agencies that you will be working with, it is a good idea to provide a more detailed description of each of these agencies in the appendices. Rather than include large descriptions of each cooperating agency, a single page that gives the name/address of the agency, names of key personnel, and brief descriptions of the major services provided is sufficient. Try and prepare each of these single page descriptions so they follow a similar outline/presentation of information.
