Who we are
KYGN is a Tanzanian NGO whose aim is to improve the
opportunities of young girls in the Kilimanjaro Region
Annamaria Kanondo is
the
Founder
and
Project
Director
of
KYGN
In
2006
she
visited
the
Mabogini
area
and
was
struck
by
the

conditions
in
which
young
children,
particularly
girls,
were
living.

In
a
country
where
94%
of
children
attend
primary
school,

Annamaria saw
that
many
children
in
Mabogini,
often
girls,
had
no

access
to
education
at
all.
The
extreme
poverty
in
the
area
has
also
led
to
children
facing
severe
neglect
or

abandonment. Many
children
also
experience
physical
or
sexual
abuse.
9
years
later
KYGN
provides
education
for
more
than
150
girls
(and
some
boys)
in

Mabogini.
KYGN
also
acts
as
a
social
service
in
the
area,
working
with
village
Chairmen
and

local
authorities
to
support
at
risk
families.
In
2016
KYGN
opened
a
safe
house
where,
at

any
one
time,
20-‐30
children
can
be
offered
a
secure
and
safe
home
while
a
long
term

solution
is
found.

While
KYGN’s
work
has
had
a
profound
impact
on
the
lives
of
our
young
girls,
there
is
much

more
work
to
be
done.
Our
aim
is
to
be
a
fully
self-‐sustainable
organisation
providing
education
and
welfare

services
for
the
children
of
Mabogini.

Where we work
KYGN is based in Mabogini, a rural area of Tanzania with a
severe lack of resources
The
facts
Average

in
a
year
Average
annual

cost
of
sending

one
child
to

school
(books,

uniform
and
fees)
Many
girls
are
unable
to
attend
school
• Mabogini has
no
facilities
for
pre-‐primary

education
• Although
there
is
a
state
primary
school
in
the

area
the
poorest
families
cannot
afford
to
pay
for

the
uniforms,
books
or
transport
meaning
that

many
children,
particularly
girls,
have
no

education
at
all
No
social
care
means
children
are
left
in
dangerous

situations
• Many
children
in
the
area
are
orphaned
due
to

the
high
rates
of
HIV/AIDS
• The
area
has
high
rates
of
domestic
violence,

sexual
abuse
and
abandonment
of
children

"Growth
in
Tanzania
has
been

concentrated
in
a
few
capital-‐
intensive
sectors...failing
to
raise

incomes
of
the
masses
and
failing
to

reduce
poverty"
World
Bank
Director
for
Tanzania

What we believe
"Investmentin girls' education may well be the highest-return
investment availablein the developing world" World Bank
We
believe
that
educating
women
is
paramount
• Women
who
do
not
receive
an
education
are
far

more
likely
to
have
a
teenage
pregnancy,
have

multiple
children
or
contract
HIV/Aids
• As
a
direct
result,
Tanzania
has
one
of
the
fastest

growing
populations
in
the
world
• Research
by
the
UN
has
shown
that
stemming

Tanzania's
population
growth
is
one
of
the
most

important
factors
in
the
fight
against
poverty
We
believe
in
the
importance
of
local
knowledge
• Working
with
the
community,
not
just
for
the

community,
is
crucial
to
our
success
• Our
team
is
made
up
of
strong
figures
in
the

community,
allowing
us
to
fully
understand
the

needs
of
local
people
We
believe
that
sustainability
is
key
• Through
the
support
of
our
local
businesses
and

community
funding,
our
vision
for
KYGN is
as
a

fully
self-‐sustainable
organisation

"Tanzania's
current

growth

rate...does
not
correspond
with

"Without
an

Tanzanians
will
be

to

Our education
We provide pre-primary and primary education education for
young girls (and some boys) in Mabogini
We
provide
education
for
the
most
in-‐ need
children
• KYGN
provides
quality
education
for
children

aged
3
to
11
years
free
of
charge
• We
are
careful
to
select
the
most
in-‐need
children

in
the
area
which
is
why
a
significant
proportion

of
our
children
are
orphaned
or
from
single

parent
households
We
set
our
educational
standards
high
• This
year
our
first
intake
of
pupils
passed
the

Primary
7
examinations
making
them
eligible
for

secondary
education
• KYGN
is
one
of
only
a
few
schools
to
provide

English
language
education
– supported
by
our

English
speaking
volunteer
teaching
assistants.

This
is
vital
as
secondary
education
entrance

examinations
are
in
English
• KYGN
received
certification
from
the
Tanzanian

government
as
a
fully
registered
pre-‐primary
and

primary
school
following
inspection
of
our

premises
and
high
educational
standards
KYGN
began
in
a
small,
rented
building
Since
then
we
have
fundraised
to
build

a
purpose
built
school,
registered
by

the
Tanzanian
Education
Department

as
meeting
the
standards
of
the
best

schools
in
the
country

Our social care
KYGN provides a social service for the most in-need members
of the community
KYGN
provides
an
invaluable
service
to
the

community,
identifying
children
in
dangerous
home

situations
• At
KYGN
we
take
many
steps
to
ensure
we
are
able

to
identify
at-‐risk
children.
This
includes
pastoral

care,
regular
medical
checks
and
teaching
on
what

to
do
if
you
experience
abuse
• Over
the
last
few
years
we
have
identified

numerous
cases
of
malaria,
HIV,
neglect,
domestic

violence
and
even
sexual
abuse
KYGN
provides
safe
house
accommodation
for
at-‐risk

children
• As
domestic
violence
and
sexual
abuse
is
a
real
and

common
threat
for
many
children
in
the

community
KYGN
provides
safe
short-‐term

boarding
accommodation
for
at-‐risk
children
• KYGN
then
works
with
families
in
the
community
to

try
and
resolve
issues
and
find
a
long-‐term
solution

for
these
children
The
new
purpose-‐built
safe
house

building
opened
in
2015
The
‘safe
house’,
is
home
to
children

in
need
of
immediate
safe
shelter

Our team
KYGN's greatest strength is the talent and dedication of its
fantastic team
Head

Anna
has
taught
for
over
30

years
in
top
schools
in

Tanzania.
On
retiring
she

decided
she
wanted
to
help

some
of
the
most
in
need

children
in
the
area
and

joined
KYGN
as
our
head

teacher.

Teaching

KYGN
has
benefited
from
the
skills
and
experience
of

some
fantastic
volunteers
over
the
years.
We
have

been
lucky
to
host
professional
medics,
child

psychologists
and
teachers.
However,
we
are
careful

that
our
volunteers
support
and
don’t
supplant
the

work
of
our
regular,

team.

What next?
We must build on these achievements and find ways to make

KYGN
has
been
highly
successful,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
work
still
to
do.

Here
are
our
four
main
priorities
going
forward:
Until
this
is
achieved,
we
need
to
spread
the
word,
yell
