As we near the end of our 5th year of providing educational opportunities to talented young women in Malawi we thank you for your support in what has been an extraordinary journey for us as an organization. In 2010, AGE embarked on an exciting experiment to provide vital extracurricular programming to our students. In Malawi, basic information about qualifying for University, enrolling in vocational training, and where to go to pick up registration forms, etc. is simply not available to the majority of graduating high school students.
Because of your support, 140 students from regional community day schools have attended AGE’s ‘Girl Shower’ weekend retreats that provide sexual and reproductive health education & self-advocacy training to young women at a pivotal time in their development. Additionally, our 21 scholars received comprehensive career guidance counseling, and 13 of them have finished their 4th and final year! Thanks to all of you for believing in the power of education to transform lives!
“I have learned that girls have the right to an education and to express their views.”
