Educate Girls in Zambia on Gender Equity

Thank you for your continuous support with the work we do at Chance4all.
We are always excited to share with you our latest report and exciting stories from the Chance4all team in Lusaka.

In May, we held our usual workshop on Menstrual Education and Sexual Reproductive Health, which was a follow up program to the one that was held in January. This was to provide the much-needed information to the pupils on the issues affecting girls and boys. To achieve this, we had presentations on menstrual education, hygiene, sexual reproductive health, mental health, drug abuse and climate change. The pupils were positive to the lessons presented and participated actively.

In June, students were busy preparing for their exams and Chance4all amazing team of teachers were fully busy helping all the students achieved the best of their potential. All GCE students successfully wrote their exams in July.

In July, Chance4all held a teachers’ workshop, guidance teachers from 7 different schools attended. The purpose was to empower teachers with adequate knowledge on the menstrual stigma and on the use and benefits of a menstrual cup. We also dug into the guidance teachers’ roles in schools and how they can better serve their students. The major aim of guidance and counselling service is to encourage students’ academic, social, emotional, and personal development. To reach this aim, guidance and counselling services help students get to know themselves better and find effective solutions to their daily problems.

We joined several Clean-up Day held last Saturday of every month! Times are changing and our planet is under threat from Climate Change! Chance4all has made its priority to educate and bring practical solutions to the Community on issues relating to climate change, and one of these issues is waste. We also have incorporated a section on climate change awareness into our gender Workshop.

Thank you for your support and thank you for believing in the power of education!

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!
