Essex Community Church Sunday School

Coming to understand love and family through Sunday School studies

ECC contributes annually to the SEGA Girls School in Tanzania, a residential secondary school for bright and motivated girls who are otherwise unable to attend school due to extreme poverty or personal hardship. The school is located in a rural area of Tanzania, at the foot of the Uluguru Mountains near the town of Morogoro, 190 km west of Dar es Salaam. The Sega Girls School is a program of Nurturing Minds, Inc.

ECC shares a special link to the SEGA Girls School through church member Billie Houghton: Her nieces, Polly Dolan and Tracey Dolan, are co-founders of US-based Nurturing Minds in Africa, and Tracey serves on the board. Polly is founder and director of the SEGA School, and also serves on the Nurturing Minds board.

Aneth Medadi has been preparing to finish Form One here at SEGA. The year 2021 has been full of transitions, from all her classes to being taught in Swahili in primary school to secondary school when everything is taught in English and being a mentor to SEGA’s youngest class. Aneth is now preparing for her final examinations, which began on November 22. After two weeks of Annual examinations and one week of cleanliness and getting reports from teachers, students will go home for the December holiday. The new school year began on January 17, 2022, when Aneth entered Form Two.
