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 180 students at this residential school. In its 25th 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, 1 student at Mother Teresa of Calcuta Secondary School in Same Town, Tanzania, 1 student at Michaud Girls Secondary School in Karatu, Tanzania, 1 student at Kikatiti Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania, 5 students attending the Bassodawish schools in the Karatu region of Tanzania, and 3 students attending schools in the Ketumbeine region of 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.
