GIVING TUESDAY
Giving Tuesday is was a two days ago ; please join us in a celebration of generosity and good.
Tariro’s girls have greatly benefited from the collective efforts and generosity from people like you. THANK YOU! You have inspired and helped so many students’ lives in very positive ways.
In the past, your contributions have helped to answer the calls of struggling students, orphaned girls, and support them to stay in school. And while we could not have predicted what would have happened this past year, nor what is to be expected in the upcoming months, your assistance has supported students throughout ongoing lockdowns, school closures and subsequent teacher strikes. Tariro was able to:
Quickly pivot to provide food hampers and sanitary pads
Provide over 650 regular wellness checks and counselling through home visits
Hire an external teacher to support Primary School students to continue their studies while unable to attend regular classes.
Hire an external teacher to help Secondary School and Senior Level students continue their studies AND prepare for their obligatory sitting exams in the coming months.
Provide internet services and data for students attending University, which allows for the continuity of learning through online platforms.
