Msange, Tanzania. A New Type of School for Girls
Description
In rural Tanzania, education for girls is considered by many families to be an unaffordable luxury. Young women are expected to marry, raise children, keep a home, and work in the fields. At the Murigha Community School for Girls, founded by Maryknoll Sister Darlene Jacobs, a quiet revolution is taking place. Students learn practical skills and attitudes that transform them into independent, self-confident women. The institution also serves the Msange community and supplements tuition income with student produced eggs, milk, and crops.
