Through the project, the Ndibereke hitmaker will pay school fees for some of the hard-pressed pupils excelling in their academics.
The Afro-pop singer told NewsDay Life& Style yesterday that she had identified some schools that she would be working with and has already embarked on a tour of the schools to share her story with other youths, so as to inspire them to achieve their dreams.
“In the spirit of giving back to the community, I have decided to embark on a schools’ tour and on Wednesday I visited Girls High School, George Stack and Harare High. Today (yesterday) I will be visiting Mbare High and Hatfield Girls High to share my story with other young people, having learnt a lot since venturing into the music industry,” she said.
The teenage sensation said she hoped to inspire fellow teenagers to be determined to achieve their goals.
“Through this initiative, I seek to encourage my fellow youngsters to find a balance between life and school and follow their dreams. I believe in giving back what God has blessed me with. It has been a fruitful year for Team Tammy and I thought it would be wonderful to share this joy through this schools’ tour,” she said.
The 20-year-old songbird and guitarist said 2019 would be exciting as she had several surprises lined up for her fans.
