Selela is the name of a village and an administrative ward in the Monduli District of the Arusha Region of Tanzania.

In 2022 the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics report there were 14,275[2] people in the ward (55% female - 45% male; average household size: 4.3), from 9,712 in 2016 and 8,703 in 2012.

- In the subvillage of Mbaash (which means 'between the mountains' in Maasai language), about 16 km from Selela, there's also primary school which counts more than 700 children.

This (boarding) school has grown quite rapidly in the last few years and now hosts around 800 students from the region around Selela.

This NGO, founded in The Netherlands, especially helped the Selela schools with several supplies (for example school desks, computers, books, exercise books, storage cupboards et cetera), but also construction materials for classrooms, teachers houses, dormitories and water storage units.
