When Brandy Vath first traveled to Tanzania, she expected to serve others. Instead, the people she met reshaped the direction of her life.
In rural villages throughout the Songea region, she encountered deep hardship alongside extraordinary faith, resilience, kindness, and joy. But one reality became impossible to ignore: girls were leaving school far too early because of early marriage, teen pregnancy, lack of menstrual products, and lack of education about their own bodies.

No girl should have to choose between her education, her health, and her future.
So More Precious Than Pearls was born.
