The experience

Our students are from the rural region of Loliondo, Tanzania, most of them come from Masai tribes and they are not aware to the importance of respecting and encouraging and empowering girls/women, so we need support to teach them gender equality values.
Also, they have no knowledge about the importance of taking care of their environment, keeping their water and food resources clean as well as recycling.
