On March 8th, 2023, TeachUNITED hosted an Open House event at the Adden Hotel in Mwanza, Tanzania in celebration of International Women’s Day. The event brought together individuals from across East Africa to celebrate the progress that has been made towards gender equity in education and to recognize the achievements of partner organizations like Hakizetu, Wotesawa, and Girl Up.

The theme of the event was “Choose to Challenge,” which encouraged attendees to challenge the status quo and advocate for gender equity. TeachUNITED provided an opportunity for like-minded individuals to connect, engage in meaningful conversations, and hear from influential women-led NGOs in the community.

Throughout the event, inspiring organizations shared their stories and partnership journey with TeachUNITED. These stories highlighted the challenges faced by women and girls in accessing quality education and the work that is being done to break down barriers. Through their efforts, TeachUNITED and its partners are striving to create a world where gender equity is a reality especially when it comes to access to quality education.

The Open House event was a testament to the power of collaboration and partnership in promoting gender equity in education. TeachUNITED and its partners remain committed to this cause and will continue to work towards providing access to quality education for all.
