Help Educate 40 Bright Girls in Lesotho

As we approach the end of another remarkable year, we at Educare Fund want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support. Your generosity has been instrumental in driving our mission forward and has made a profound impact on the lives of the young women in our cohort in Lesotho.

Thanks to you, we have achieved significant milestones in our programmes this year. We've expanded access to quality education resources, provided scholarships to more underprivileged young women, and launched innovative initiatives that prioritize girl child education. Each step we took was made possible by generous gifts from compassionate donors like you, who believe in the power of education to transform lives. Without you, none of this would have been achievable.

Your commitment goes far beyond just financial support; it represents hope, opportunity, and a brighter future for our students. Every time we see a young woman’s eyes light up with the joy of achieving their goals or hear a parent express their gratitude for the resources we've provided, we know that your generosity is at the heart of these successes.

As we look towards the new year, we are excited about the possibilities ahead. With your continued support, we aim to expand our reach, refine our programs, and further enhance the quality of the educational support we provide. We are dedicated to ensuring that every girl in our cohort has the tools and support they need to thrive.

Thank you once again for being an essential part of our journey. Your continuing belief in our mission ignites our passion and drives our efforts. Together, we are making a difference, one girl at a time.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year! Please share this letter with them.

With deepest gratitude,

This year we’ve seen further effects of your generosity on the success of our organisation. We can see this in the continuing impact your contributions have on the progress of our previous beneficiaries as we get to hear more about how they’ve got on since graduating from high school. Not only have they gone on to good jobs, but some of them have been happy to share their knowledge and experience with the next generation at the two successful workshops we’ve held in the last two years. We plan to continue funding the workshops annually, with the help of our local partners in Lesotho.

The year’s biggest story is that two of our previous beneficiaries, Puseletso and Tlalane, have decided to form their own non-profit organisation and have recruited other ex-beneficiaries to join them. Embedded in our current partner organisation for the last two years, Puseletso and Tlalane have been Educare Fund’s ‘boots on the ground’ in Lesotho. Once registered, the new NGO will be an obvious choice for partnering with Educare Fund. The two young women have told us that you, our donors, are the ones who have given them the motivation to take this major step. We are grateful for what they have done for Educare Fund and are very proud of them for embarking on this amazing journey of self-development.

In their feedback to us, many of our beneficiaries express their gratitude to you and the hope that in the future they can follow in your footsteps to change other young lives.

Katleho, one of our recent beneficiaries, is now doing a diploma in nursing and intends to progress to a degree programme. These are her words:

“I am grateful for your kindness, your trust in me, and your commitment to supporting young women pursuing their dreams. I am proud to be associated with Educare Fund and I look forward to making a difference in the lives of others in the future.”

Thanks to your continued generous support, Educare Fund’s programme now has an annual cohort 80 girls. We are incredibly proud to be able to support more girls, and we hope this number continues to rise. In addition, we have identified a need for supporting our girls to improve grades in maths and English, both of which are required for entry into most degree courses. We are very fortunate in having secured the help of a teacher in the UK who is volunteering her time to put together maths support packages for our students and their teachers.

We are extremely pleased to announce Educare Fund’s Winter Newsletter. Be sure to take a look. Your comments will be most welcome.

While I’m here, I’d like to give you a heads-up about the coming GivingTuesday campaign. This 24-hour campaign will take place on Tuesday 3^rd December. Details will follow later, but be sure to save the date.

With much gratitude

Liphethiso Monica
