The first half of the year has brought a lot of exciting things to us at AGE Africa! We are proud to announce that three of our AGE Scholars were accepted to University! This is an incredible achievement and we wish our scholars all the best as they continue their studies to better themselves and their communities and families.
This chance would not be possible without the comprehensive scholarships that we provide for some of the most underprivileged girls in rural Malawi. These scholarships support all of the costs that girls have when attending school, not just the uniforms and books. When they are secure, they are able to focus completely on school, meaning that 90 percent of them are graduating from secondary school while only 7 percent of girls across Malawi do.
This is possible because of donors like you and right now, we are looking to you to make the difference in the lives of 190 girls for the next school year through our annual Tri for Malawi Team Challenge. Each year, 50 athletes, including the Ambassador from the Republic of Malawi to the United States gather to participate in the Nations Triathlon to honor our girls who walk a triathlon sized distance each week just to get to school. If you want to help change lives for girls, their families, and communities forever, you can join or triathlon team here or you simply donate to our athletes goals or right here on GlobalGiving! We thank all of you that have supported us in the past and those that will join us and Tri for Malawi!
