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 261 students at this residential school. In its 28th 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 12 students attending Moringe Sokoine Secondary School in Monduli, Tanzania, 1 student at Nazarene University, 2 students at Kitambolu Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania, 1 student attending the Bassodawish schools in the Karatu region of Tanzania, 2 students at Unambwe Secondary School, 1 student at Michaud Secondary school, 1 student at Fransalian Hekima Secondary School, and 3 students attending schools in the Ketumbeine region of Tanzania. We also aided students at Kiyoora Secondary School in Uganda. *In Madagascar a grant was provided to pay teacher salaries at five primary schools in the rural South. These teachers taught more than 1,500 students in one of the most impoverished areas of the country. *Scholarships were given to the Widow's Might program as well to cover their children's education. *Primary school scholarships were given to 75 children at Best School academy in Bunuke, Kenya.
