Kesho Fund

When a school lacks basic supplies, neither the teachers nor the students can easily succeed at their goals there. This program addresses the need for more and better school supplies in Tanzania. Example projects include purchasing textbooks for schools and supplying free school breakfasts to at-risk students.

In Tanzania, as everywhere else, serious issues of gender equity permeate daily life. Girls receive less encouragement and face more obstacles than boys in pursuing their studies, their careers, and their personal goals. Nevertheless, the hard work of girls, boys, and role models in our community are changing this day by day. Money donated to our Gender Equity Program supports projects such as the local manufacture + distribution of washable, reusable sanitary pads and our influential Girls' Empowerment clubs at secondary schools.
