MENTOR GIRLS. DEVELOP LEADERS. TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES.

Dear AfricAid Friends and Supporters, In 2018, we achieved something incredible. You helped us double our impact for the second year in a row, growing from 1,000 in 2016 to 2,000 in 2017 to over 4,000 Tanzanian girls who are becoming bold, powerful, and positive leaders. Each girl has the support of a Mentor to overcome challenges and reach her full potential (like Helen on pg. 9). The true impact is so much greater: Scholars share what they learn with their sisters, mothers, cousins, and neighbors (like Scolastica on pg. 7). They are also joining AfricAid’s staff to mentor younger girls: 72% of 2018 program staff were Kisa Alumnae! Together we are changing the lives of girls in Tanzania, and people are noticing. In October, I was invited to give a TEDx talk to share how mentoring girls will change the world (visit africaid.org/tedx). Our programs are truly making a difference. In its second year, Binti Shupavu expanded to the Arusha Region by adding 10 new Binti Shupavu Partner Schools. We provided 2,539 vulnerable girls with the skills and self- confidence to succeed in secondary school. Staff also held 20 Parent Engagement Meetings to motivate parents to keep their daughters in school (like one dad on pg. 6). The Kisa Project added four new Partner Schools in 2018 to reach a total of 1,704 girl leaders preparing to attend university and create positive social change. Scholars connected with successful female leaders at Career Day, gave back to their communities during 2 Day Challenge, and continued seeking leadership roles after graduation (like Fides on pg. 8). Each powerful story starts with you. Your support changes girls’ lives -- and these girls are changing the future by demonstrating the true power of educated girls. Thank you for your support to mentor girls, develop leaders, and transform communities in Tanzania. With gratitude,

Jana Kinsey Executive Director 2

Women here are being told that their voices are not important, but at AfricAid we make that happen. We are mentoring girls to help them understand that they have a voice and that voice is powerful.” - Eliakunda Kaaya, Kisa Alumna and Mentor

I like to educate other young girls who do not have the chance to be in Binti Shupavu. We were taught the Binti Shupavu program by Madam Violeth. She is so kind and ready to listen to all the students’ concerns. She is my role model. I decided to share what I learned with my community by forming a group of young girls at home and mentoring them. I photocopied and shared my Binti Shupavu notes for my girls. We had a lack of materials like paper and pens for doing assignments. To overcome this challenge, I used my own money that I was keeping in a personal money saving box and bought the necessary supplies. I asked them questions out of what I taught them, and to motivate them I gave a writing pad as a gift to whoever got the answers right. Some people used to make me lose hope by telling me I cannot really do much to change the future for these girls. Others told me that I was a busybody or that I will perform poorly at school if I continue mentoring my “Scolastica sees the knowledge as something of group. But I ignored them because I knew what I was doing. value and wants to share it. We have other I am so happy with what I am doing in Scholars who do this too.

I would like these girls to reach their goals, and I would like to reach my own goals ready to act as role models to other girls.” of supporting my community, not only in Moshi but the whole country of Tanzania. - Asimwe Suedi Binti Shupavu Project Manager

My dad died while I was in school. It was the worst time for me and very unforgettable. I never imagined my life without my dad. Kisa helped me to know that I can stand on my own and have the inner confidence to face any challenge. I know he is proud of me. Before I joined Kisa, I had a low level of confidence in all areas of my life. Kisa is not only a club, but it’s more. It’s educational and fun. I have learned how to be confident and how to help my community to address various challenges that they face. My most proud moments are when I help my friends while at school. I feel so happy that I have touched someone’s life. The moment I got awarded the best Kisa Scholar, I was ecstatic and overjoyed, and I couldn’t believe my eyes or ears. My favorite Kisa lesson was business planning because I learned how to plan, budget, and manage my business. Since I love business, I really enjoyed my time in class. I taught my mum and sisters about how to budget and how to grow your “I have mentored many Kisa Scholars, but few business. are as confident, bright, and articulate as In the future, I see myself as an inspiring and Helen.
