SHEEO

SHEEO (Solidarity for Her Education and Empowerment Organisation) is transforming the lives of rural Tanzanian girls and young women by tackling the root causes of poverty, inequality, and exclusion. In many rural communities, girls face barriers such as early school dropout, unemployment, gender-based violence, and lack of access to reproductive health education and technology. SHEEO breaks these cycles through holistic empowerment—ensuring girls not only stay in school but also gain the knowledge, confidence, and skills to lead change within their communities.

Through its four core programs, SHEEO provides educational sponsorships and menstrual hygiene support, equips young women with vocational and entrepreneurial skills, and promotes gender equality through leadership training and advocacy against harmful practices like child marriage. The organization also delivers comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) education, empowering girls to make informed choices and protect their well-being. By bridging the digital divide and engaging both women and men in gender equity efforts, SHEEO is creating a generation of empowered young leaders driving social and economic transformation across Tanzania.
