Kafundo Secondary School
Ipinda, Mbeya Region, Tanzania
Collaborative initiative with Kafundo Secondary School, a government-funded school serving students from surrounding villages in Tanzania's Mbeya Region, providing access to education in a safe and supportive environment.
Why Kafundo
Supports 600–650 girls from under-resourced communities facing significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite barriers, students show remarkable resilience, passion, and self-motivation in their pursuit of education.
The Challenge
Limited access to menstrual health education and sanitation knowledge continues to impact girls' education, leading to absenteeism or school dropouts. Stigma and lack of basic information remain major obstacles to educational equity for young women.
Our Approach & Impact
- • Educational workshops on menstrual health and hygiene
- • Resources and essential information for girls
- • Awareness programs to break stigma and misinformation
- • Ensuring no girl is held back from education due to lack of knowledge, resources, or societal stigma
