Maua from Tanzania

Maua is nine years old and has been going to Naitolya Primary School in Makuyuni for a year.

Her mother never had the chance to go to school and is determined that Maua gets an education. Her grandfather works in Magugu, a city quite far away, so that he can send money to the family and help to buy what is needed for school.

A project is underway in Tanzania to improve the education of girls at 60 schools in the country. The project will continue until 2012 and aims to help girls attend school -- and stay at school long enough to finish their education.
