The Tara Project aims to improve access to health, education, and enterprise for chronically poor communities through empowering them and fostering self-sufficiency. Their first local community project focuses on promoting girls' education in Kenya by reducing barriers to school attendance and retention through initiatives like providing uniforms, skills training, and improved sanitation. The timeline outlines launching the girls' education project in June 2010, conducting initial evaluations in December 2010, and modifying the program based on findings before further evaluations in June 2011.
