He later achieved a Bachelor of Science in Education, specializing in Mathematics and Physics, from the University of Dar es Salaam, cementing his place as a scholar and lifelong learner.

Mr. Eliezer left an indelible mark on Tanzania’s education system throughout his career. He began teaching at secondary schools like Kwiro, Rulenge, Minaki, and Pugu, where his love for Mathematics and Physics inspired countless students.

But his professional achievements tell only part of his story. Mr. Eliezer was also a man of great resilience and love. He married young and was blessed with a daughter. After the loss of his first wife, he displayed incredible strength, remarrying in 2013 and welcoming two more children into his life—a son and a daughter. As a devoted father and grandfather, he cherished his three children and three grandchildren, always putting family at the center of his life.
