"My mentorship lessons changed my academic performance completely. Before, I had no self-motivation to study, no goals or dreams. My mentor asked me, ‘Where will you be after finishing school?’"
Challenged by her mentor, Mary Jonas buckled down in school to improve her grades. “I’m proud of myself. My future dream is to become a midwife. I want to be able to help women give birth safely.”
Mentorship unlocks a world of possibilities, and Mary Jonas' growth is evidence of that. She attends mentorship sessions with our partner GLAMI.Tanzania. Only 39% of girls in Tanzania go to secondary school. Of those, only two-thirds complete their secondary education, and only 3% go on to university.
With support from you and She’s the First, GLAMI is working to change those outcomes, one girl at a time.
