Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow
“Without TEMBO, these girls would be married.”
Through education and economic empowerment, TEMBO supports two on-the-ground partners in Longido District, Tanzania to help girls stay in school, support women in building sustainable livelihoods, and create lasting change for families.
Our Programs
Supporting Girls’ Education
In 2026, TEMBO’s support sponsored 187 girls to attend secondary school, including 45 girls beginning Form 1 in January in both 2025 and 2026.
Each girl receives the essentials she needs to succeed (uniform, bedding and learning materials) as well as ongoing mentorship and encouragement, helping every girl stay motivated and in school.
Before entering secondary school, girls complete PASS (Primary and Secondary School Success), a 10-week transition program that builds academic readiness and confidence. During the school year, they participate in TEC (TEMBO English Camp) , a three-week English camp led by local teachers to strengthen language skills and self-esteem.
Together, these programs give girls in Longido the tools, knowledge, and confidence to thrive — in school and beyond.
