Location

The Sega Girls School is located in the village of Mkundi, 10 Kms. outside of Morogoro Town on the Dodoma Road. The plot is 1 Km. from the main road making it accessible, yet with enough distance from town to maintain privacy.

Thus far the Sega Girls School campus now has a large mulitpurpose builiding that accommodates 28 boarding students, 30 days students, a matron and a headmistress. This building is solar powered, has rainwater harvesting, well water powered by solar, and an extensive garden maintained by the staff and students. The adjacent Banda includes the kitchen with a bio-gas cooking facility and eating area.
