How Aisha Found Hope and Education in Tanzania
From life on the streets to a brighter future in school – discover how your support helps children like Aisha* unlock their potential.
Meet Aisha
13-year-old Aisha had worked hard to earn a place at secondary school after passing her primary certificate. But her dreams were threatened by poverty. Her family simply couldn’t afford to keep her in education.
Hoping to find a new path, Aisha ran away to Tanzania’s capital, Dar-es-Salaam, pinning her future on the chance she might be able to get into school to continue her studies there.
But with no money or place to stay, she ended up alone on the streets.
Finding Support
Fortunately, social welfare officers found Aisha and connected her with our team in Tanzania. We were then able to offer emotional support and counselling to both Aisha and her family. We provided school uniforms, learning materials, and helped the family find ways to improve their income.
Looking Ahead
Aisha is now safely enrolled in secondary school, full of hope for the future. Her family are better equipped to support her, and she’s free once more to be a child, pursue her education, and dream of all she can become.
