<<<<<<<<<< Jane is a very bright 14 year
old who lives in Donge are of Tanga, Tanzania with her mother, Domina.
She is the oldest of 3 children. Just before ACT
started supporting the family in May 2002 Domina had receivd an
eviction order from the landlord and given 30 days in which to quit the
room they were renting and where they shared facilities with other
tenants. The timely support from ACT enabled Domina to complete the work on the very modest 2 room house, which her husband had started prior to his death in 2001.
Jane has ambitions for her life and hopes one day to become a doctor.
She is in Form 1 at Mkwakani Secondary School and is doing very well.
Jane's mother, Domina is an assistant in the local library but her
income is so meagre that it does not provide enough to pay for the
children's education. Although well over 65 per cent of children in
Tanzania enrol in primary school, less than 10 per cent move on to
secondary school because education at this level is not free
