OUR GLOBAL VISION

How we educate, equip, and empower.

Our model is different. At Kurandza, education and empowerment prevail over aid. We place self-sufficiency at the forefront, providing a sustainable pathway for you to support children and their families with the skills they need to thrive. 

Expanding beyond education, our holistic programs now encompass scholarships, skills training courses, and microloans. We believe that with the proper tools, everyone, regardless of their circumstances can get an education, earn an income, raise healthy families, and uplift entire communities.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

  • The Challenge

    Today, 27 million women and girls are trafficked globally. Current programs often follow a hand-out model, providing temporary relief while inadvertently fostering dependency rather than empowering individuals for self-sufficiency.

  • Our Approach

    We provide holistic programming that includes educational scholarships, skills training courses, and microloans so that girls and women are empowered with the tools they need to become self-reliant and uplift their entire community.

  • Your Impact

    When you partner with Kurandza, you give a girl an education and skills she needs to thrive, while preventing her from being trafficked or becoming a child bride. Join our monthly giving program and empower a girl for $50/month.

Bringing our Learning Center vision to life.

Inspired in Mozambique, the Kurandza Learning Center in Chivonguene will be the epicenter of new opportunities and growth. Our programs that are educating over 250 young girls is expanding to go beyond girls’ education, incorporating increased community participation and offering advanced skills training and entrepreneurial support.
