- Mission Statement: - History of Hekima Girls’ School: In the
1960, Kamukukubwa was nationalized like most missionary schools
at that time. Later it was handed to the Regional Co-operative
Union who started a co-educational private secondary school. In
1988, the school was handed back to the Theresian Sisters and
Hekima was formally established, as the first ever all-girls
private secondary school in the region. Hekima is a boarding
school located in the small village of Kashozi, 12 km north of
Bukoba town, in the Kagera Region of Tanzania. - Identity
Statement: The Theresian Sisters recognized the potential of
reclaiming the school with the purpose of providing a quality
education, as per their mission statement. Although the
Theresian Sisters founded Hekima, it is not religiously biased.
Students and teachers from all regions are accommodated and
given equal academic and religious opportunities.
