Tanzanian singer Vanessa Mdee has left many impressed after launching a new shoe line aimed at keeping girls in school.On Tuesday, she launched a girls school shoe line dubbed ‘BoraStar’ that has a feminine feel and is meant to encourage girls to stay in school, and also dream big.“I designed this for all the African girls dreaming out loud. Anything is possible. Ilikuwa ndoto yangu kutengeneza bidhaa itakayonufaisha na kuboresha maisha ya msichana wa kiTanzania/wa KiAfrika. leo nimetimiza ndoto yangu, nasema Asante Mungu.” she said.
Dropouts
It’s not yet clear how much the shoe cost but Mdee hopes that it will help in reducing the high dropout rates of young ladies not only in Tanzania but Africa as a whole.
