Educate Girls in Zambia on Gender Equity

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for your continuous support with the work we do at Chance4all.

We are excited to share with you our latest report and exciting stories from the Chance4all team in Lusaka.

Since January, Chance4all has been busy and continued its activities with a series of workshops: Starting with its annual workshop with the parents. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear parents’ feedback and to talk to them about the progress their children have made and also to remind them that their support is also essential to the success of their children’s education.  

We had two workshops on "Menstrual Education and Sexual Reproduction Health"; one was held in Bauleni the community we served, and the other one took place outside our traditional area in State Lodge. We are excited to report that more schools outside Bauleni area are reaching out to Chance4all to deliver these workshops to raise youth awareness on such critical topics such as:

• Contraceptives and Reproductive health
• Mental health awareness
• Menstrual health, hygiene and myths associated with menstruation
• Introduction of menstrual cups and reusable pads (their benefits and maintenance)
• Gender Equity
• Climate change

At the end of the workshops the following items were distributed to the girls and Boys:

• A set of 5 re-useable pads (only for girls)
• Washing powder
• Bathing soap
• Toothpaste and toothbrush
• Snack pack, fruits, and juice.

All workshops were well attended by our members, and we had amazing feedbacks from parents and teachers. 

Thank you for your support and thank you for believing in the power of education! 
 
Regards,
Chance4all Team

The holiday festivities are the perfect time to express our gratitude for what you’ve done for Chance4All. We are truly glad to have you on our team. At this festive time of year, we want to take a moment to thank you for all the ways you make this team what it is. It’s safe to say that we’ve become a family over the years! Thank you for your hard work and dedication this year. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year 2023.

On the 11^th of October, 2022. We commemorated the international day of a girl, we took advantage of this special moment as Chance4All and held another successful workshop in Bauleni, Lusaka Zambia at prince Takamando primary school, the workshop was on mental health and reproductive health rights. We had a number of schools in attendance adding up to 4 schools and YASA sports academy, namely prince Takamando primary school, Bauleni special needs, Bauleni secondary school, and Chibelo primary school. This workshop had a total number of 38 girls and 17 boys.

At the end of the workshop the following items were distributed to the girls:
• A set of 5 re-useable pads 
• Washing powder
• Bathing soap
• Toothpaste and toothbrush

We also welcomed our students to term 3, 2022. It was lovely to see our old students after a whole month and we are happy that we managed to give all our students with new school supplies. The first days of school are usually mixed with a lot of emotions. Many of the students were excited, cheerful, and proud to be back in school. A few were a little nervous and/or scared because of the upcoming exams in November, but we wished them all the best as they prepared for their final exams.
All the children reported and sat for the exams. We are eagerly waiting for the results!

Thank you for all your support and  best wishes for a healthy, happy, and peaceful 2023.
