95 percent of girls in Tanzania don’t finish a high school education. Currently the average girl who does make it to secondary school comes from classrooms with no textbooks, few desks, and only one teacher for every 50-100 students.

Kisa will connect students with sponsors to provide them with the money needed for school through the use of stories. The education the girls receive will allow them to open new businesses in their community and become a generation of change throughout the country.
