Promoting STEM Subjects for Girls in Africa

Hello to all our Supporters, Donors, Friends and Family! 

We only do what we do with you beside us, we are the rock to so many communities around the world but you are our rock! 

Over the past 2 years we have seen a steady decrease in funding to many of our programs and as a charity we decided that it was time for change. Traditionally we have been putting 100% of the funding into our projects and keeping them alive so funding feeding programs, research, equipment and other essential items. 

While this is still a critical part of our work with the decrease in donations we need to step up our long term sustainability plans and therefore we have increased our professional volunteering and mentoring program that connects people in the community with qualified and experienced mentors around the world. 

Using this mentorship we have started to work with each community and build a plan that will lead to the community being setup to fight the issues they face themselves, it's a transition period that won't happen overnight however rather than putting funding just to "surviving" requirements we have now been able to use donated funds and volunteering hours to train community members, build websites and install local income generation projects that will take the pressure of fundraising. 

It is a really exciting time and we continue to look for people that are willing to donate their time as a mentor and not just focused  on people donating funds, we still need those incredible funding donation gifts but we are excited to expand our team to mentor, inspire and support community members to building their own project to change their future. 

We need and hope you will still continue to support us and if you want to get involved then we would love to hear from you! 

Thank You,

Tyrone

Hi All,

Our STEM project is located in Zimbabwe, we run after school groups, summer camps and provide equipment for local schools to promote STEM subjects to the community with the majority of the focus for girls. 

We used all the donations to recently run a science camp for 14 girls in Zimbabwe, working with our female scientist's the event was a huge success, everyone was inspired and really got a handson experience. It was a 4 day event and at the end ofn the event we certainly noticed some young aspiring girl scientist in the making. 

It is great in a country where women are not always seen equal even though the laws try to promote it, it is these special events that we are able to fund through donations to our project that light up the future for these girls. This event was a great success and we look forward to the next one!

Thanks,
