Tariro Dance Group
As a dance group, Tariro aims to educate and empower young women and girls in Zimbabwean communities affected by HIV/AIDS.
"Tariro was founded in 2003 by two Mount Holyoke College alumnae, Memory Bandera and Jennifer Kyker, in order to address the particular needs of Zimbabwean teenaged girls. Young women are at the highest risk for contracting HIV, yet many non-profit organizations operating in Zimbabwe focus on younger children, leaving teenaged girls without the critical resources they need to obtain an education. In founding Tariro, Memory and Jennifer sought to redress this disparity by providing comprehensive educational support for teenaged girls to enable them to finish secondary school education."
