AfricAid supports girls’ education in Africa in order to provide girls with the opportunity to transform their own lives and the futures of their communities. AfricAid’s vision is to create a future in which all African girls have equal access to high-quality educational opportunities that empower them to achieve their goals and better their communities. AfricAid mentors secondary school girls in Tanzania to complete their education, develop into confident leaders, and transform their own lives and their communities. We equip girls to overcome challenges and reach their full potential because educated girls create lasting positive change. The outcome is proactive, resilient, and socially-responsible girls who secure better jobs, raise healthier families, and increase the standing of women in society.
Our involvement: The Marty Tomberg Charitable Fund has financially supported this organization.
Projects We Support
Binti Shupavu is a four-year life skills course for lower secondary school girls covering topics such as study skills, personal leadership, health, and self-confidence with the goal of increasing graduation rates for vulnerable girls.
Binti Shupavu (“courageous daughters” in Swahili) is a four-year, needs- driven extracurricular mentoring program that specifically addresses the high dropout rate and particular challenges faced by lower secondary girls. The spiral curriculum is delivered at Partner Schools by university-educated, young, Tanzanian women (nearly all of whom are graduates of AfricAid’s Kisa Project). These young women are positive role models who ensure that participants get the knowledge, skills, and support they need to succeed.
