Nurturing Minds in Africa provides financial and technical support to programs improving access to quality education for girls in Tanzania, with a particular emphasis on girls who are poor, marginalized, and at-risk of becoming involved in exploitative forms of child labor.       Nurturing Minds is currently supporting Secondary Education for Girls' Advancement (SEGA), which has opened and operates a girls' secondary boarding school in Morogoro, Tanzania.  SEGA is made up of a core group of four Tanzanian citizens and one American who are committed to improving the lives of Tanzanian girls. The Sega Girls School provides quality academic education to marginalized girls, emphasizing leadership skills, social responsibility, self-sustainability and environmental care.

"...This is far more than a boarding school for girls--it is a focal point for a rural development movement to reach critical proportions of girls in key communities, arming them with education as well as agricultural and business skills-addressing not only their need for a future but the need of Tanzania to revivify and energize its rural areas and ensure food security.  I urge you to support this important cause." -Judith Bruce, Director of Poverty Gender and Youth Program Population Council
