Desc	Educational 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 223 students at this residential school. In its 27th 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 Nazarene University, 2 students at Kitambolu Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania, 1 student attending the Bassodawish schools in the Karatu region of Tanzania, 1 student at Umambwe Secondary School, 1 student at Michaud Secondary school, and 3 students attending schools in the Ketumbeine region of Tanzania. We also aided a student at Kiyoora Secondary School in Uganda that had a severely broken arm. This school also receives scholarship funds regularly. In Madagascar a grant was provided to pay teacher salaries at five primary schools in the rural South. These teachers taught more than 800 students in one of the most impoverished areas of the country. Ketumbeine Secondary School in Tanzania also received an education grant to improve their institution.	Desc
