Women

Tamara Housing Trust is a registered Public Benefit Organisation. South African Mary-Ann Lloyd had a desire to assist disadvantaged women (domestic helpers; unmarried women; widows or single women who had been abused or abandoned by their husbands etc.) to obtain suitable homes. She stipulated that the houses constructed for these categories of women should be architecturally designed and built by members of the Master Builders Association. Mary-Ann Lloyd was a remarkable lady, a granddaughter of South African mining magnate, Sir Abe Bailey, so she was born a person of means, but she always used her inheritance in the best possible way, helping other people.

Task Brasil was given an enormous boost in 1997 with a very generous donation by Jimmy Page, the Led Zeppelin rock icon, who witnessed first hand the deprivation of the children and troubles in the favelas whilst playing in Rio de Janeiro. The money donated was used to buy a plot of land in Santa Teresa with a house, Casa Jimmy, to provide a safe and happy home for a lucky few of the abandoned children.

In America today, educational disparities limit the life prospects of the 13 million children growing up in poverty, impacting their earning potential, voter participation, civic engagement, and community involvement. These disparities disproportionately impact African-American, Latino/Hispanic, and Native American children, who are three times as likely to live in a low-income area. We recruit outstanding recent college graduates and working professionals from all backgrounds and career interests to commit to teach for at least two years in urban and rural public schools. We provide the training and ongoing support necessary to ensure their success as teachers in low-income communities. Since our inception in 1990, the Teach For America network has grown to include more than 20,000 individuals. Currently, some 6,200 Teach For America corps members teach in 29 urban and rural areas profoundly affected by the achievement gap.
