We are committed to keeping more children and girls in school through scholarships, mentorship programs, and creating safer learning environments in ECDE centers. Additionally, we provide life skills training to women and youth, empowering them to thrive both academically and personally.
High rates of early marriage and cultural norms can prevent girls, in particular, from attending school.
There is a lack of adequate educational infrastructure in remote pastoralist areas. Schools are often far away, and the existing facilities may be poorly equipped.
There is often a shortage of qualified teachers willing to work in remote pastoralist areas which undermines the quality of education provided
Many girls are forced to miss school during their menstrual cycles due to a lack of affordable sanitary products, leading to increased absenteeism.
Tareto Africa’s leading thought on education strategy is centered around the belief that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering communities, particularly in pastoral regions where cultural and socio-economic barriers often prevent children, especially girls, from accessing quality education. Tareto Africa’s strategy emphasizes creating inclusive, supportive, and safe learning environments while providing the necessary resources and mentorship to ensure that children, youth, and women not only stay in school but also thrive academically and personally.
By intertwining education with life skills, mentorship, and community involvement, Tareto Africa’s strategy aims to not only educate but also empower individuals to become agents of change within their communities. This approach reflects Tareto Africa’s belief that education is the foundation upon which sustainable development and social transformation are built.
Tareto Africa is committed to ensuring that children and girls in pastoral communities have access to quality education. Our interventions include:
Providing financial support to students from vulnerable backgrounds to ensure they can complete their education.
Equipping Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centers with the necessary infrastructure, resources, and trained personnel to foster a nurturing educational environment from the earliest stages of learning.
Empowering youth and women with essential digital literacy and life skills to prepare them for academic and career success.
Connecting students with mentors who provide guidance, support, and encouragement to help them achieve their full potential.
Todate, Tareto has 39 ongoing scholarships and supporting 5 nursery schools with materials, school lunch and other educational support to see more girls and children remain in school.
