As we close the year, we are proud to share the progress made in strengthening gender equity and educational access for the girls, and the boys who learn alongside them at Chance4All. When Term Three began in September, our learners returned to school equipped with books, stationery, and essential supplies provided through this project. These simple tools made a meaningful difference: attendance improved, confidence grew, and students were able to participate fully in class without the stress of lacking materials.
This quarter also included the last powerful lifeskills workshops for students from several partner schools. Sessions covered:
While the menstrual hygiene session focused on girls, boys were also included, helping build a more informed and respectful learning community. One of our Grade 9 learners shared that she “finally understood her body and felt less afraid to ask questions” a reminder of how transformative safe and accurate information can be.
Beyond the classroom, students engaged in environmental learning during the Chifwema Arboretum Spring Festival and enjoyed a joyful lunch outing during the directors’ visit. This time together strengthened bonds between directors, staff, and students, while also supporting learners’ emotional wellbeing. At our tuition center, our dedicated teachers completed structured revision for Grades 7 and 9, and we are proud to share that every student who received exam preparation passed their national examinations and ready to move on to the next grade. We also celebrated a major milestone: the graduation of one of our first cohorst sponsored girl students as a nurse, whose journey from interrupted schooling to academic success reflects the true impact of the work we do at Chance4all .
As this is our final report of 2025, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you. Your support has helped girls gain confidence, dignity, and opportunity and ensured that the boys who learn beside them grow into allies for gender equity. Thank you for standing with us as we continue building brighter futures, one learner at a time.
