Anglican Aid is partnering with the diocese of Tarime in Tanzania to build a Secondary School for Girls.

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 traveling to school, or studying in a co-educational setting, can be unsafe.
