Give a Girl a Chance: Help Educate Tanzanian Girls
Organization information
Lyra in Africa
Location: Hambleden, United Kingdom
Summary
This is the story of so many girls Lyra works with: I am a Tanzanian rural girl. The chances of completing my education are small. Just 1% of us who start primary school will complete our education. The school is far from my village, & I must walk to school, facing sexual harassment along the way. Some of us stay in a room in the village close to school, but these rooms are not safe. Many of us share a room, and girls exchange sex for rent. 1 in 4 of my teenage friends will become pregnant.
