This year held many beginnings. New lessons. New curiosity. New confidence taking shape.
Since June 2024, the Bahini Education Project has been proud to collaborate with the University of British Columbia Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. This partnership has opened opportunities for our students to learn about science, technology, and engineering and has strengthened their curiosity in these fields. Since 2024, our bahinis have learned from 35 educational videos covering:
These lessons have become part of their routine and have helped students approach challenging subjects with more certainty and less hesitation. We’re excited to continue this collaboration through 2026!
Our first cohort will graduate in April 2026. It’s a milestone that feels close now, and a reminder of how far they’ve come. At the same time, we are selecting new students for the 2026 school year, welcoming the next group of girls who will step into this opportunity.
And learning did not stop in the classroom. We focused on skills that matter in daily life. Skills that expand confidence and curiosity. This included sessions on menstrual hygiene management, communication and public speaking, financial management, and resume writing. These activities help our students understand themselves better, express their ideas, and make informed decisions.
We are excited to see where they go after graduating from high school. We look forward to watching them learn, grow, and lead in their own way.
