Kisarawe Girlstown Tanzania: Changing Lives Through Education and Care
In 2019, the Sisters of Mary opened Kisarawe Girlstown in Tanzania, their first school in East Africa, offering life-changing opportunities to girls. Today, the Sisters care for 900 of Tanzania’s poorest girls, giving them access to education, stability, and hope for a brighter future. For the first time, these girls receive nutritious meals, healthcare, a safe place to live, and support for their physical and emotional development.
At Kisarawe Girlstown Tanzania, the students follow a full academic curriculum designed to prepare them for work and continued education. Subjects include English, Swahili, geography, history, biology, chemistry, physics, civics, agriculture, and physical education.
With the support of generous donors, the Sisters are breaking the cycle of poverty for young girls across Tanzania—one child at a time.
