"Teen's Organization Helps Educate Girls in Tanzania"    

What initially began as a simple effort to provide girls with books has grown into a nonprofit that is changing lives for hundreds of girls in Tanzania.

In 2008, then 15-year-old Shannon McNamara and her family took a vacation to volunteer at a school in Bukoba, Tanzania. She was struck by how few school supplies and books the girls had and how unequal the education and resources for girls are compared to their male counterparts.
