PEDGO (Peoples Educating Group) is a non-profit making community-based organization (CBO) from Musoma (on the shores of Lake Victoria) which is running a non-formal education programme. This group provides classes for children and adults who were never enrolled in formal education and those who did not complete standard seven or who completed standard seven but did not continue with secondary education due to poverty or other reasons. Some children come here after school hours to get additional tuition.

PEDGO's Main Aim

To enrich people with knowledge and skills that can help them get rid of poverty.

PEDGO's Belief

That Poverty, Ignorance and Disease are our country's three great enemies and can only be overcome if all our people are well educated.

PEDGO's Objectives

• To provide adult education to those who do not happen to get formal education during their early adolescence.
• To provide appropriate modern technology education to cope with the current scientific and technology system.
