Kiota: Supporting girls in Tanzania
Kiota is a volunteer-run kitchen table charity, working in partnership with Tanzanian young women's rights, health & development NGO, Kiota Women's Health and Development (KIWOHEDE).
We fund secondary education for some of Tanzania's most marginalised young people.
This is offered in a nurturing environment that at the same time enables the students to avoid dangerous and exploitative situations, gain the psycho-social support that they need and expand their options for the future.

These last 18 months have be challenging, as many of Kiota's usual routes for fundraising have closed thanks to the Pandemic. This has left Kiota vulnerable and means that the future of the school, and its many students, are in jeopardy. They are closer to the cliff edge than ever before and need urgent funding.
"Before I joined this school, I had no hope. I was going to be married to a much older man, and not allowed to go to school. Now I see a bright future. Thank you Kiota."
— Class Three Student
Kiota means "nest" in Kiswahili, representing a safe haven for our beneficiaries.
