Second chance education for orphans in Mbare

In our community, too many children and young people are missing out on education, not because they lack potential, but because their families face poverty and challenges that make staying in school difficult. At Chiedza, we believe every child deserves a second chance to learn, complete their education, and build a brighter future.

In August, our community mobilisation efforts resulted in 162 additional out-of-school children and young people enrolling in our programme. This is encouraging progress, but it also highlights the growing need for support to help these children stay in school and succeed.

Your support through GlobalGiving will help provide nutritious meals, classroom furniture, textbooks and stationery, teacher stipends, and examination fees so that learners can continue their education and complete their studies. We will also support birth registration for children who lack documentation, provide positive parenting sessions, and help parents develop income-generating activities to strengthen their families’ ability to keep their children in school.

Together, we can do more than bring children back to the classroom. We can help them stay, learn, complete their education, and build the skills and confidence to shape their own futures. Every contribution brings us closer to a community where no child is left behind simply because their family cannot afford the cost of education.
