Eight years have passed since the Karatu school bus accident, one of Tanzania’s most devastating tragedies. On May 6, 2017, 32 children, two teachers, and a driver from Lucky Vincent Primary School in Arusha lost their lives, leaving the nation in deep mourning.
The pupils had been traveling to take a mock national exam — a proud milestone in their young academic journeys. But on the mountainous roads of Karatu district, their bus lost control on a wet stretch, veered off the road, and plunged into a gully. Rescue teams found a scene of overwhelming loss.
