Description
Tanzania is home to some of the world’s poorest people. Girls are married early, often at age 13, and have no chance of pursuing secondary education. Women have limited opportunities to provide for their families. TEMBO Canada works to address these issues through a sponsorship program for girls, a women’s microfinance loan program and goat project, and informal education initiatives offered by staff at the Longido District Learning Centre. Every $85 raised gives girls their school uniforms for the year. Every $350 sends a girl to secondary school for a year.
