📚 The Future is here and it's Female 🙂

🇿🇼 Young people in Zimbabwe today faces many challenges:
substance abuse, child marriages, lowering school enrollment rates - especially for girls, and lack of extra-curricula activities.

❤️ Tariro Hope & Health charity is doing amazing work with this group of girls from Glen View & Glen Norah. From sponsoring school supplies to providing confidence building workshops. The future certainly looks bright!

📖 Today the young ladies lent some books from our community library.

🙏🏾 Our library relies mostly on donations. We'd greatly appreciate any reading materials suitable for readers aged 10 - 16 years.

You can also sponsor via our Amazon gift list:

Hello March!! We're in Nigeria this month reading An Orchestra of Minorities, a finalist for the Booker Prize.

Set on the outskirts of Umuahia, Nigeria and narrated by a chi, or guardian spirit, An Orchestra of Minorities tells the story of Chinonso, a young poultry farmer whose soul is ignited when he sees a woman attempting to jump from a highway bridge. Horrified by her recklessness, Chinonso joins her on the roadside and hurls two of his prized chickens into the water below to express the severity of such a fall. The woman, Ndali, is stopped her in her tracks.

Read along with us!
