Make a life-changing impact in 2024: Build a High School for girls in rural Tanzania
At EWB-SWE, we champion the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by tackling pivotal issues that affect us both locally and globally.
Our initiatives span education, gender equality, energy access, and clean water—all aimed at creating lasting change. We are not only implementing projects; we are also cultivating partnerships for a more equitable, sustainable world.
Why Girls' Extended Education Is Crucial
Girls in rural communities of the Kagera region, located in the northwestern part of Tanzania, often face insurmountable challenges that prevent them from pursuing an education beyond primary school. It's not just a lack of resources—it's a lack of opportunities that holds them back.
Together with our partner organization, the Mavuno Project, and local authorities, we are extending a boarding school to enable more young girls to achieve a higher level of education. The school aims to benefit 1,800 students by 2030, featuring multiple classrooms, a library, a teachers' office, toilets, and an electrical power system.
Why does this matter? Because an educated girl doesn't just uplift herself—she uplifts her entire community. Your contribution will not merely build a school; it will lay the foundation for a stronger, more sustainable future for entire communities.
How You Can Make an Impact
We hope we have inspired you to contribute with a higher purpose and to let your gift transform lives and empower communities for years to come. Together, we can make a substantial difference. Please watch the short video below where you will meet some of the students and the principal talking about their school.
We are aiming for a high set goal – to raise 1 M SEK (or 100,000 EUR) for the school during the coming year. We are most grateful for any contribution towards our goal, large or small.
So put education for girls on your agenda this year!
Kind regards,
