AGE Africa is pleased to report that we added 3 new schools to our scholarship program at the end of 2013, bringing us to a total of
As AGE Africa continues to grow in 2014, we have set a goal of providing 170 scholarships to forever change the lives of 170 girls living in poverty in rural Malawi!
We also recognize that our opportunity for systemic change lies with our unique life skills and career guidance curriculum which is high-impact but low-cost to implement. In conjunction with Malawi’s Ministry of Education, we have launched an initiative in 2014, called GirlsCHAT, that pilots our CHATS (Creating Healthy Approaches to Success) curriculum at 6 rural, community day secondary schools in Zomba and Machinga Districts. GirlsCHAT offers AGE Africa’s two-year life skills and career guidance curriculum to over 400 girls. Rigorous monitoring and evaluation of the GirlsCHAT pilot will provide an evidence base to build scale and influence the national curriculum review and reform process through advocacy for a more equitable and girl-friendly life-skills curriculum nationwide.
