School is expensive in Tanzania and there are not many to choose from. Often, the families must pick one child (if they have the ability to pick any) to fully educate. Being a patriarchal society, girls in Tanzania are much less educated than boys.
2 out of 5 girls are married before they turn 18. This inevitably leads to young pregnancies and the necessity to drop out of school.
An estimated 5.1 million children at the age of 7 to 17 do not attend school. Only 52% percent of the children are enrolled in secondary school and even fewer complete it.
On average, a child will have to walk anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours in each direction to attend school.
67% of the population (56 million in total) still lacks electricity
4 million people lack access to clean, safe water, and 30 million don't have access to improved sanitation
At Kabellerge School & Learning Center we are determined to provide all of the above for our students!
