We are determined to provide support primarily through education, that is,
conducting awareness workshops and seminars, in addition to providing sustainable projects and training to our target groups to empower the young girl or woman with versatile skills that enable them to take care of their infants or protect themselves from abuse, or being taken advantage of because of lack of income and/or their vulnerable
circumstances.
The past couple of years have driven us towards focusing on establishing a scholarship fund due to the pressing needs of our target group over and above provision of
life skills through running workshops with a practical and application orientation. Currently, we are running a scholarship
fundraising and support program that has a 4 year tenure, with 23 teenage mothers, their
children and vulnerable young girls being
assisted with school fees in Harare and
Chitungwiza, the intention is for them to
receive this aid until they complete their
secondary education.
Despite the aforesaid,
we are keen on continuing to seek support so
that we increase this number to 120 learners
by the end of 2025. Coupled with this, we
also run weekly life skills workshops targeted
mainly at teenage mums and pregnant teens,
to equip them with skills that empower them
to make a living and take care of themselves
and their children. So far we have imparted
skills in the culinary arts and business, with
several of the girls we have assisted having
started their own small businesses.
We are
currently able to run these workshops with
not more than 20 girls, but with more support
and partnerships, we hope to increase this
number to 50 participants.
