	Marhum Husseinbhai had an abiding interest in quality education. Before his work on secondary education, he had started a nursery school in Kilima Miguu, Zanzibar, where he made sure that milk would be provided daily for the students. He would be at the bus stand every morning to ensure that the children were seated safely in the school bus. If a child was late, he would let the bus go but personally wait for the child and take him or her to school on his bicycle. He recruited Parinbai Nathoo and Rubabbai Alidina to teach at the nursery school.		Marhum Husseinbhai had an abiding interest in quality education.

	Marhum Husseinbhai was a philanthropist with a keen interest in education. Upon the death of his father, Alhaj [[Dharamsi Gangji]], Husseinbhai embarked upon the construction of a school in Zanzibar’s Stone Town on Kiponda Road behind The Khoja Shia Ithna’asheri Mosque. Opened in February 1959 with teachers brought from India, the Dharamsi Gangji Ithna’asheri School was created to enhance the opportunity for secondary education on the island. In the late 1950s such opportunity was limited. Each year over 1200 boys and girls from Zanzibar and Pemba completed their Primary School studies and sat for a common entrance exam, but only the top 200 received spots in Zanzibar secondary schools. Husseinbhai felt deeply that this was unfair to the many bright students whose education was being cut short by these UK-style examinations, and this motivated him to provide an alternative opportunity. Every community child who had missed out in the common entrance exam was offered a place in the Dharamsi Gangji Ithna’asheri School. Every year, around 30 students were admitted, with any spare slots going to children outside the community.		Marhum Husseinbhai was a philanthropist with a keen interest in education.

 Over the last decade, the quality of education at Kiponda School has been progressively improving, and it is now quite high up in the ranking of secondary schools in Tanzania. This year, for example, all 61 students who sat the 2021 Tanzania National Examinations passed, and most are about to embark on further studies. Alhamdulillah, decades later, the nursery school in Kilimani and the Kiponda Secondary School are both serving the community and the children of Zanzibar.
