300 teachers and parents in Tanzania now have glasses!

Tanzania suffers from a widespread shortage of reading glasses. 

 

Thanks to Eyes on Africa for collaborating with SHARE to deliver 300 reading glasses -- free of charge -- to teachers and parents who would otherwise have no access to them.

School Supply Drives

SHARE has hosted hundreds of School Supply drives.

Thousands of much needed classroom contributions -all brand new!- have been donated, including:

-pens

In addition to funding uniform expenses, we have also provided over 5,000 SHARE t-shirts to girls in our programs in schools throughout Tanzania. The girls are proud to wear the brightly colored shirts, which have SHARE's motto on the back: "Today a reader, tomorrow a leader."

The t-shirts help build unity and provide a new piece of clothing to each SHARE girl, something that's a rare treat.
