Education for girls is often not a priority in Tanzania, and families rely on their daughters to look after the home. It’s common for them to marry after Primary school, and there are few choices or opportunities available. Even if they gain entry to a government school, the dropout rate is high, usually due to pregnancy or a lack of finances. In a culture where women are not highly respected, even travelling to school, or studying in a co-educational setting, can be unsafe.

The Bunda Girls Secondary School is a happy and healthy environment for the students to live and learn, a place where they can focus on their studies to help them achieve a brighter future.

Sponsor a student or support the emergency fund for girls whose families are experiencing unexpected difficulties.
