IRS990/Desc0Educational Operating Grants and Scholarships: *Operation Bootstrap Africa's largest program is the MaaSAE Girls Secondary School (MGLSS) in Monduli, Tanzania. Student sponsorships provide funding for the education of 175 students at this residential school. In its 24th year, the school continues to provide an opportunity for pastoralist and semi-nomadic girls to be educated in a safe and nurturing environment. A monthly grant to the school supports teacher and staff salaries, food, textbooks, utilities, and other necessary expenses. *Additional scholarship funds were provided for 4 students attending Moringe Sokoine Secondary School in Monduli, Tanzania, and for 1 student at Mother Teresa of Calcuta Secondary School in Same Town, Tanzania. *In Madagascar a grant was provided to pay teacher salaries at five primary schools in the rural South. These teachers taught more than 5,500 students in one of the most impoverished areas of the country.
