Praise God for the generosity of Australian Christians who have given $234,260 to help complete the building of a secondary  school for girls in Tarime. The school has already been partially built with support from Anglican Aid. When Bishop Mwita  Akiri visited Australia for a week in August, he shared what was needed to complete the building and God’s people responded generously.

Bishop Mwita said that in Tanzania, most girls don’t have the opportunity to be educated beyond primary level and often marry while they are still children. The Christian secondary school at Tarime will enable girls to learn and to go on to help others. He said: “Just imagine unleashing 800 girls into the community after some years to go and become agents of change – people who can talk about their faith in Jesus Christ, but also can influence others and say, ‘Look, I’m here. I’m a girl. But I’m educated.’”

Pray:

• Praise God for providing for a girls’ secondary school in Tarime, Tanzania.
• Pray that the school will enable girls to learn and go on to help others.
