Phase 2 Progress [2026-01-22]

The 2025 Phase 2 boxes got picked up here at Reneal’s headquarters in the US on December 29th, and David received them on January 5th at Kilimanjaro International Airport. What a great way to start the year!  Overall, it was a very smooth operation. Many thanks to Tina at Sky2C shipping, Terri at Apto Solutions, Kennedy and Glory at Bureau Veritas, our local suppliers in Arusha, and of course David Nyangaka, Reneal’s Country Director, for their support, preparation, and hard work. Six of the eight new computer labs are already completed, thanks to Reneal Team Tanzania’s organization and installation efforts! Training for the teachers will follow soon.

The next major endeavor is beginning-of-the-year school visits to all schools by Reneal Team Tanzania, which will start in early February. There will be some updates to the servers, most importantly to the collection of Tanzania national exams. Then our focus will turn to new projects in 2026. We are excited and grateful to have the support again of our generous donor, Apto Solutions.

There are also some pressing software updates needed to address hardware drivers in the newer donated laptops. In the meantime, we are looking forward to an increased emphasis on maintenance and training in the new year ahead. 2026 is looking to be another productive and active year for Reneal!
