Lalahe Sindiyo

Lalahe attended Meserani Chini Primary School.

He was placed second in his final year at primary school. His father has five wives and fifteen children, and his mother is the second wife – she has six children. His mother depends on the rains to grow beans. They used to have ten cows, but now only have four following successive droughts. All the girls in the family have been married off as soon as they finished primary school. His favourite subjects are Mathematics, English and Science, and he would like to be the Prime Minister of Tanzania one day.

Lalahe started his secondary education at Moita Boys’ Secondary Boarding School in January 2017. He is being sponsored by Chris Stoddart and his mother Karen. Chris is a former Head Boy at Acklam Grange School.

Lalahe sat his national secondary school examinations in November 2020, and the results were published in February 2021. He gained a Division Two, Points 21. This was a really good result, and one that should lead to him being selected to study A’ Levels – this would start in July 2021. We are currently looking for a sponsor, so that he would be able to study A’ Levels if he was selected.
