Real lives Athuman Kiboko was chairman of a village in Tanzania. "There is only one school in our village with 600 pupils. But there were more than 500 children who could not attend the school because they live in four sub-villages that are seven kilometres away. We learnt about Access from a neighbouring village. Everyone wants their children to go to school. Now there are 400 children at the Access centres. We have increased the number of children in school to over 1000." Zubeda Ahmed is now able to go to school. "I can now read and write. I like school because it is near my home. Access is the saviour for me and my two sisters. My elder brothers and sisters only went until class three."
