Across Tanzania, less than 3% of young adults enrol in university education. This figure is even lower for female students, and even lower again for girls from rural and Maasai background where attending university is almost unheard-of.

Operating in Moshi Rural district, this project will enable high-performing but impoverished rural young women to complete a university degree, escape poverty & become the leaders of tomorrow. Combined with counselling and mentoring, this financial support will give beneficiaries from very poor backgrounds the security of long-term assistance at this critical point in their lives.

We believe the ripple effect from this ground-breaking project will be huge as educated and empowered women are better able to realise their potential, shape their future and break the cycle of poverty. We hope the young women supported by this project will go on to have bright futures, be catalysts for change in their community and help others.
