Welcome to One World Guardians

Creating Opportunities for Young Women One Stitch at a Time…

Deep within Tanzania is a community rich with culture.  The people within the community are gracious, kind and loving – where every greeting is met with a welcome and every departure is met with a welcome (signifying you are welcome to return).  The people here live in a state of grace –  with their focus on what really matters – “their community and each other”.

Daily life consists of farming, gathering the basic needs for the day – water, coal, food, etc and community activities.

Secondary education is a privilege. Within this community of 4500 people very few can afford the costs associated with being able to continue their education. With the average income being $365 for a year and the cost of education at the secondary level being $500 for a year dreams of being a nurse, doctor, educator, journalist, architect, lawyer, etc seem out of reach.

Secondary schooling offers students the opportunity to master English – spoken, written and read along with other subjects such as math, science, etc. Mastering English is mandatory to even consider the possibility of going onto college. Completing a secondary education opens the door for an individual to go on to college to expand their potential of being in service to their communities.

One World Guardians has created a program designed to provide the opportunity for young women to expand their development both personally and professionally.

We are in the process of creating a center where trade skill training will be taught. We have a master tailor who will teach the young women how to sew. The participants will design and create products we will offer on our website, in stores and in the local city Iringa for sale. The proceeds from their products will provide the resources to fund their secondary education.

Providing these young women the opportunity to complete secondary education opens the door of possibilities for them to go onto college.

Join us in creating an opportunity for these young women to be able to obtain the skills and education to bring service back to their communities that will assist them.
