Ten years ago, a 19-year-old traveler funded a girl's education in Ibumila, Tanzania. Now, Anwarite has graduated from the University of Dar es Salaam and is pursuing a Master's in Swahili. Roughly 2% of people from Njombe finish a university degree.
Her master's program costs 3,060,000 TSh (~$1,161). The author has since founded the Tanzania Education Project, a 501(c)(3) supporting five students with school fees and healthcare. The long-term goal is to provide education and healthcare to every child in the village.
The project operates with zero salaries, and all funds go directly to students. A GoFundMe is available to specifically fund Anwarite's master's program.
