Masasi Girls’ Secondary School

Masasi Girls secondary school is located in Masasi – 200km from Mtwara town. The school is one out of two high schools in the Mtwara region. Even though the school has extensive facilities, most of the buildings were insalubrious, with the girl’s washrooms and toilet facilities being the worst affected.
