About Hekima Waldorf
Waldorf in East-Africa is the catchword with which we want to present our project to you. Worldwide humans have sat together to found Waldorf schools. In the last ten years the number of Waldorfschools doubled over thousand worldwide. One of them is the Hekima Waldorf school since 1997 in Tanzania.
The project “Hekima Waldorf School” was founded with the thought of going another way of school education in Tanzania. This teaching method is established worldwide and exists as real alternative to normal teaching methods. This education system earns meaning in the developing country Tanzania, because there are only very few good education possibilities.
“Hekima” is a Kiswahili word meaning wisdom, an ability which should be fostered in the school. This is the wish of the founder who established in 1997 the Waldorfschool in Dar-es-Salaam in the district of Mikocheni. In 2012 the Hekima Waldorf School moved to another place near Goba. The two buildings have space for 8 classes and three Kindergarten classes, the robust building is situated in a wonderful area close to nature full with mango- and palmtrees.
