A strong and healthy educational partnership between Makunduchi Secondary School, Zanzibar and Aston Academy, Rotherham, England.

The Aston-Makunduchi Partnership was founded in 1989 to promote genuine partnership between students, teachers and parents in both locations, and to put this into practice by facilitating support generated at Aston into initiatives instigated by the school and community in Makunduchi.

In all our dealing with Africa, we emphasise:

• a long term commitment with full community involvement
• small scale sustainability
• appropriate technology
• empowerment, gender equality and equal opportunities

Our overriding aim is to help the local people, community and school to develop their capacity and to put their own initiatives into action. The Aston-Makunduchi Parternship is of great importance to both schools and is in constant development.
