Millions of young girls of Africa do not get the opportunity to sit in a classroom and get an education. Especially the ones that are ages 13 to 18 because secondary schooling is very expensive and almost double that of primary school. Most parents can not afford this cost of education or do not have sponsors so these young girls are forced to stay home and work. Many of them become pregnant and are married by the age of 15 and 16. These girls deserve a chance at looking forward to a better tomorrow and a brighter future. They deserve a chance to sit in a classroom and getting an education. When you educate a girl in Africa, you not only educate her, you educate her family, her community and a Nation.
So Bridges of Hope's has a new project called the 'House of Hope.' It is going to be a safe home for the girls of Tanzania between the ages of 13 and 18 years old, where we will empower them through education so they will become successful young woman. It will be a place of Hope! Because once they have hope, anything is possible for them.
We have already purchased the piece of land in a beautiful area of Tanzania with a perfect view of Mt Meru and a concrete wall has been constructed around the property. A contractor has been hired and is anxiously waiting to start construction. The first phase is to lay the foundation which we will start in May before rainy season so the foundation has four to five months to sit before the house is constructed in October.
We are still in need of funds to reach our goal. We need your help so the House of Hope can help these girls. There is no greater feeling of happiness than making someone else happy. Please help by going to the link below and making a charitable donation to Bridges of Hope's new project 'House of Hope.'
