More than ever is education an important tool to create gender equality. SOS Children's Villages make sure all children can go to school. Many of the children are orphans or come from very poor families. Children who otherwise would end in poverty with little or no education. The images are from a SOS Children's Villages school in Zanzibar.

During my recent trip to Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania I saw how healthcare and specially education are available for most girls.
