Tariro
"In Zimbabwe’s Shona language, Tariro means Hope. Tariro invites you to join them in providing hope for Zimbabwean children by educating orphaned girls and preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS. Founded in 2003, Tariro works in Zimbabwe to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS by educating young women. Located in the high-density neighborhood of Glen Norah in Harare, Tariro enables young women who have been orphaned by AIDS to complete a secondary school education, thereby dramatically reducing their risk of contracting HIV/AIDS."
