International Day of Education

Today we celebrate the International Day of Education. Since 1965, Operation Bootstrap Africa has been dedicated to improving access to education in Africa and has helped build over 3,500 schools in Tanzania. The MaaSAE Girls Lutheran Secondary School is a prime example. It is a safe space for young tribal girls to seek further education, rather than being forced to a husband. This year, 65 young girls are starting Form 1 at MGLSS. What better way to celebrate the International Day of Education than to sponsor them through their education?
