Thanks to your wonderful and generous donations, in September, we were able to fund a trip to Koru Camp for 12 underpriviledged children from Mohlanatsi.
However, this was a camp with a difference, for both ARRC and Koru. This was a dedicated Girl Empowerment venture giving young women aged 12–18 a safe, supportive space to build confidence, leadership skills, and self-belief.
The girls shared questions and concerns about their bodies, health, and relationships — revealing serious gaps in access to accurate, age-appropriate information. Without this knowledge, young women face risks such as early pregnancy, unsafe relationships, and limited understanding of their rights.
As well as participating in workshops and mentorship sessions, the girls had the opportunity to witness and experience the wonderful and beautiful wildlife in the reserve, making the camp both inspiring and unforgettable.
One of the most important outcomes from the camp was the apparent and urgent need for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) education which led us to a new committment - to roll out community based workshops for as many teenagers as possible, ensuring they have the tools, knowledge, and support to make safe, informed choices.
While the focus has been on empowering girls, we are also engaging boys in parallel sessions to promote respect, consent, and healthy relationships. By expanding our reach to both girls and boys, we aim to empower the next generation to take control of their health, their options, and their futures.
None of this — empowering young people, running workshops, and providing vital SRHR education — would be possible without the help, support, and belief of our supporters and followers. Your generosity and trust give us the strength to expand our reach, create safe spaces, and help teenagers make informed choices about their lives and futures.
Together, we are making real change possible - THANK YOU!
