In 2021, David and Subi Waithaka started building the Schwarz School in the small village of Zumba Mtendeni in rural Tanzania.

When they started building, families showed up with their children — before there was a roof, floors, or even walls.

Young men came together in the evenings at the school ground to play football. Now under the tutelage of Kenya Premier League Coach Gabriel “Kingi” Njoroge and the hopes of their community, Zumba FC hopes to claim their first victory against the neighboring village. 

A community is forming around the school. This is their story.
