VEPK Project Staff in Tanzania
In 2000 Mshiri Teachers' Resource Centre was built by VEPK. It is now part of the Moshi Rural District’s cadre of such centres. It is through Mshiri Teachers’ Resource Centre that VEPK first promoted its Whole School Development Programme. That programme has now expanded but still works alongside Mshiri Teachers’ Resource Centre in the Marangu education wards.
