Opportunity Gifts
You can make a meaningful difference by choosing an opportunity gift from our program areas: girls, women, or learning.
When you purchase an opportunity gift, you can send a personalized card to a friend or family member in their honour. Celebrate a special occasion while also helping to send a girl to school, support women in a literacy class, or fill the shelves at the Longido District Learning Centre with books. If you make your gift a monthly gift, your recipient will know that you are thinking of them all year long, with regular updates from our Reaching for Change Club.
Opportunities for Girls
Help a Girl Stay in School
In Tanzania, only 32% of girls make the transition from primary to secondary school. Poverty, early marriage, and lack of resources often stand in their way. Since 2007, TEMBO has partnered with the community in Longido District to change this reality—sponsoring more than 650 girls to attend secondary school. Many of these girls have gone on to complete Form 4, and today, they are pursuing vocational training or university studies, building a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
