Safi's International Partnership with SYEW Update July 17, 2020
Safi Hand Wash Bottles
Yes! Safi’s founders wanted to empower young people through education. Education takes a long time and the impacts of an education are exponential. In the beginning Safi wanted to plant a seed inside the country with a whisper of hope to facilitate a transition to something more organic, more part of their culture and community...fostering their self-sufficiency...
What we are seeing is the best of what Tanzanian people can do with resources. Safi programs have helped teachers and students. In response, there is now an in-country NGO Sponsoring Youth and Empowering Women (SYEW).
With the pandemic and Tanzania closing schools where Safi sponsored students attend, the education process was in jeopardy. SYEW, with Safi support is able to react and adapt efficiently to current conditions. Two examples:
First - Soap and Sanitizers
Soap and sanitizers have been hard to find now. Prices have shot up. Containers are hard to find too. Thanks to our lovely students and teachers that they care about others too, the post-secondary students who are taking laboratory technician at Technical college in Arusha are making soaps for multipurpose use and sanitizers too. These soaps are supplied to all the students and their families for free! This is another way of protecting our students. We have invested in their education and now they are giving back to their community. This is for sure what we wanted to see in them, right?
Second – On-line courses
With schools closed, SYEW staff uploaded the materials necessary to create a platform for continued learning. SYEW is managing the process and making it interactive by bringing in teachers to be at the site during classes. Teachers use a mobile number to assist students during the course hours!! AND Fredy Mollel, SYEW Board Chair who was helped by Safi to complete his masters, is working with Opportunity Education to get tablets for Safi Students.
SYEW has many dreams to continue the work of supporting education to empower young people. Your donations can help build the bridge that connects SAFI and SYEW to the common goal of education and empowerment.
