TEMBO Trust Information

TEMBO provides educational opportunities for girls and economic empowerment for women through micro-finance loans or micro-business opportunities. We have been doing this work in villages in northern Tanzania – part of the Longido district - for more than 18 years. With longevity in the region, our educational support programs have resulted in improved outcomes for both girls and women. More girls are graduating secondary school with marks which will allow them to continue on to vocational training or university. More women are becoming literate and starting businesses to support their families. In Canada, TEMBO and its volunteers raise awareness and raise funds, and in Tanzania, TEMBO Tanzania and Learning in Longido (LIL) carries out programming. Educating and empowering girls and women is our focus.
