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.

Opportunities for Women

Empower Women in the Heart of the Maasai Community

TEMBO works at the heart of the Maasai community, where women have long faced significant challenges—early and forced marriage, limited access to education, and few opportunities to participate fully in family or community life.

Your support helps break this cycle. By investing in education, skills training, and community-based programs, you are empowering women to build better futures for themselves and the next generation.

She Can Sew!

$200

Each week, Maasai women from four rural villages meet at the Longido District Learning Centre as part of a skills development project. The women are learning how to sew school uniforms including skirts and shirts, as well as simple dresses for children.
