What is our current fundraising focus?   Educating Sega Students   It costs $1900 to educate a Sega student for one year, including teacher salaries, food, medical care, educational supplies and recreational equipment.  We invite you to connect with a Sega Student whilst supporting her education, at either $720 or $2500 annually through our Student Sponsorship Program    Follow this link for more information>> Furniture for the New Construction   Expansion of the Sega Girls School is underway! Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, and a matching grant of $400,000 from USAID, we are completing construction of phase II of the school campus.   We plan to have 120 girls living at the school in 2012.   BUT we still need your help...

Poultry Farming -  Our first self-sustainable business  The poultry farm is the Sega Girls School's first school-run business that will start to provide self-sustainability. We are building coops for 3,000 chickens and aim to be up and running in Spring 2012. Grants for the poultry farming have been generously given by Dining for Women ($25,000) and the American Embassy in Tanzania ($25,000), but we still need $50,000. $30 will provide all that's needed for the housing and care for 1 chicken!       Rainwater Capture System   The Sega Girls School aims to be fully self-sufficient for all its water requirements   The estimated expense for potable water for the Sega School in 2012 is $450-$500 a month.   As the school begins to develop small businesses, such as the poultry farm, it will be essential for the school to have it's own water supply.   The first step to a self-sufficient water supply will be the installation of rainwater capture equipment on all of the newly constructed buildings   - at a cost of $40,956   Nurturing Minds is a US-based (501) (c) (3) non-profit organization.  EIN # 20-8870624    All donations to Nurturing Minds are tax deductible.
