It’s Kurandza’s 10th Anniversary! Today we’re celebrating 25,500+ lives impacted in Mozambique. And we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you.

We are deeply grateful for all you’ve made possible this past year! This year has been particularly special as it marked a significant milestone for our community and the girls whose lives you are changing.

Anshia poured her heart into a heartfelt letter addressed to the Kurandza community, and we can't wait to share her inspiring words with you!

Our first Adventure Trip was a memorable one filled with love, culture, and impact. We’re so excited to share with you the incredible experiences and moments that made this trip unforgettable.

School supplies distribution is always one of our favorite times of the year! You can see the joy of what receiving school supplies means to the girls.

Meet Alda! She is a recent high school graduate, who has been with Kurandza since 2017, and her story is one of hard work, perseverance, and dedication.

This past summer, filmmakers came to visit Mozambique that was funded through a Sown (storytelling for social good) grant. Take a look at the footage they captured to share our work and story.

All the classroom chatter, student laughter, every page turned, and all the dreams imagined, is thanks to your generosity. Read more stories from the girls whose lives you've changed.

Together with your support, we positively impacted over 200 lives directly in Mozambique last year. 2021 was a period of growth and change for Kurandza. Our team took the year’s unique set of challenges in stride and our passion shined as we continued to seek ways to maximize our impact.

Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that encourages people around the world to do good by donating their time, money, or voice to causes that are important to them.

We did it, Kurandza family. Because of YOU, we secured scholarships for 250 girls in Mozambique to go back to school! You helped cover the costs of school fees, books, uniforms, backpacks, supplies, and transportation to the now 250 girls in our education program so that they can continue their education for another year.

In October, we welcomed 50 new girls to our educational program for a total of 250 students! Thanks to the support of our #IStandForGirls sponsors, we are thrilled to be able to continue expanding our program and impact year-after-year.

If you’ve followed our work via social media or have partnered with Kurandza in any way over the past few years, you’ve undoubtedly heard us mention “safe transportation” as a key component of our overall goal (to provide an accessible and high quality education to girls in Mozambique).

Being out of the classroom for most of 2020 and even some of 2021 took a toll on their progress. They lost several months of learning time but despite being unable to attend school in-person, we made the best out of the situation and remain hopeful as we move forward.

We’re looking for a passionate and enthusiastic Virtual Assistant who will provide administrative and logistical support to Kurandza’s Founder, Elisabetta. This person will be able to successfully work alongside Elisabetta and her team in Mozambique, as well as be strongly self-motivated and able to get work done without close supervision.

Plastic Free July is winding its way down, but if you’ve been on social media at all this month, you’ve probably heard buzz around the topic of reducing consumption, minimizing plastic waste, and being a conscious consumer during July and beyond.

Across Mozambique, especially in rural areas like the ones we serve, many people lack a birth certificate or legal form of identification. Oftentimes, children don’t know their exact birthdays or legal names which can present a lot of problems down the road.

Being out of the classroom for most of 2020 and even some of 2021 took a toll on their progress. They lost several months of learning time but despite being unable to attend school in-person, we made the best out of the situation and remain hopeful as we move forward.

The first day of school is always an exciting time, but this year, even more so than usual! After lockdowns, school closures, and uncertainty due to Covid-19, the girls in our program have safely returned to the classroom at last. We are thrilled to welcome them back!

March is officially known as Women’s History Month and we’ve loved seeing women honored, important stories told, and call-outs happening all month long. At Kurandza, we believe that women should be celebrated, lifted up, and given equal opportunities all year long.
