Nurturing Minds
Student Sponsorship Program

You can make a difference in the life of a girl...

“You educate a boy, and you’re educating an individual, you educate a girl, and you’re educating an entire village.” 
~African proverb as quoted by Greg Mortenson, author, Three Cups of Tea

     The world has realized the importance of women’s education and Nurturing Minds is on the forefront of providing quality education to girls in Tanzania. We offer underprivileged girls both a remedial and boarding school experience allowing them to graduate with a high school diploma and the knowledge and skills which will allow them to become leaders in their community, and pursue employment opportunities that would otherwise have been out of their reach. 

 
 
As an individual sponsor, group of friends, company, or club, Nurturing Minds is currently seeking sponsors for their remedial education
program and offers three levels of sponsorship allowing for
financial flexibility for each sponsor.

     My name is Saraphina Jackson Alex. I was born in 1995. We live in Lukobe, Morogoro. In my family we are 3 children, girls only. My sister who is the first born is married and our second born is at home and I am the last born. I stay with my aunt as my mom died in 2002 and my dad is in Bukoba. I dropped out of school in Standard 6 in 2008 because I have no one to pay for my school costs. After dropping out I have been helping my aunt to cultivate different crops. I heard the SEGA news from the village Chair and I told my aunt who went to take the forms. I filled the forms and sat for the exam at Mkundi primary school. I felt very happy after being selected by SEGA because I heard that there is a a good learning environment at SEGA. I want to become a teacher so that I can teach effectively and achieve my objectives. I want to help my young siblings and relatives and other people. Thank you for selecting me at your school.
