Project management:
This project is locally managed by Brad Warren of Adopt a School. Adopt a School is a part of Earth Assistance, an Australian NGO working in Tanzania. Adopt a School is currently managing about 8 or 9 similar projects in Arusha area. I found this organization after I returned home and conducted a search of nonprofits working in the area that might be able to assist this school.
