Hello,

We're partnering with Awet Secondary School in Karatu, Tanzania to improve the quality of education in Tanzania. We are raising money for a new girls' dormitory. We need to raise $50,000.

Awet Secondary School is in Kambi Ya Simba (Camp of Lions) in Karatu District. Many families want to send their children to Awet because it has the best test scores in Karatu District. For this reason it has 649 students (373 girls).

Awet needs a new girls' domritory because there is only space for 130 girls.

It is important that female secondary school students stay in dormitories. If girls stay at home they are under pressure to do household chores - cooking, fetching water, childcare etc. - at the neglect of their studies. If they live away from home in Kambi Ya Simba they are at risk of harrassment by local men and boys. Dormitories, like the one for which I'm raising money, are very important!

Please help us reach our goal!
