Tabora Girls’ Digital Access & Skills Hub (GDASH)

Tabora Girls’ Digital Access & Skills Hub (GDASH) Young women are the architects of our future, yet in Tabora, Tanzania, thousands face a crisis of exclusion that threatens their potential. From the nation’s highest school dropout rates to the pressures of early marriage and teenage pregnancy, these challenges create a cycle of poverty. Your support in raising valuable donations can transform their lives—providing the digital tools, skills, and mentorship needed to create a new path of economic independence and hope.

Why Donations for GDASH Matter

Every girl deserves a second chance at education and a career. Unfortunately, once a girl in Tabora drops out, she is often locked out of the formal economy forever. Donations directly fund the “operational heartbeat” of our hub, ensuring these young women can:

• Access the Digital Economy: Proper training in coding, graphic design, and social media marketing allows girls to compete for global remote work and local digital jobs.
• Bridge the Connectivity Gap: High-speed internet is the lifeblood of modern learning. Donations pay for the monthly data needed to keep the Hub connected.
• Receive Professional Mentorship: Specialized trainers provide not just technical skills, but the psychosocial support and confidence building needed to overcome the stigma of dropping out.
• Learn in a Safe Environment: The Hub offers a secure, professional space where young mothers can focus on their future, away from the economic harassment they often face.

How You Can Help Raise Valuable Donations

1. Fund the “Operational Heartbeat”: A computer lab without internet is just a room. Your contributions help pay for the monthly rent, electricity, and high-speed data that make learning possible starting this January.

2. Support our Facilitators: Our trainers are experts who travel to the Hub to share their knowledge. Helping cover their transport and small allowances ensures that our 50 students receive high-quality, consistent education.

3. Help Us Scale with New Tech: While we have 10 workstations ready, we have a waiting list of 50 girls. Donating specifically for new laptops or workstations helps us reduce sharing time and get more girls behind a screen.

4. Partner with CODEWA: If you represent a business or tech organization, you can sponsor a specific cohort of students or donate software licenses, multiplying the impact of our grassroots efforts.

5. Advocate for Second Chances: Use your voice on social media to tell the stories of girls in Tabora. Raising awareness about the importance of “second-chance” digital education helps us build a global community of supporters.

The Impact of Your Generosity

Your efforts to raise funds create a ripple of change. Consider the difference your donation makes for a young mother in Tabora:

• €10) can provide one week of high-speed internet for the entire Hub.
• €25) can cover the transport allowance for a facilitator for one day.
• €50) can cover a monthly rent contribution to keep the Hub’s doors open.
• €100) can fund one new laptop for a girl on our waiting list.
• €200) can fund a full workstation setup (desk, chair, and computer access).

Collectively, these donations fund a sustainable program that empowers young women to start digital micro-enterprises, breaking the cycle of poverty for themselves and their children.

Stories That Inspire

Meet girls like Salma, who faced bullying and was forced out of school. Today, she sees the GDASH Hub as her “home of hope.” Or think of the 50 young mothers who, by mid-January, will sit at a desk for the first time in years—not to learn basic chores, but to learn the digital skills of the 21st century.

These stories remind us that every donation matters—because behind every workstation is a life being reclaimed.
