Our scholars are on the longest school holiday since they resumed their studies post COVID. This period has allowed us to connect with them, celebrate their growth, listen to their challenges and provide them with the support they need to continue pursuing their dreams.
As teenagers, one of their biggest challenges is navigating relationships and all the challenges that come with that. This sensitive stage of development also makes them vulnerable to abuse and unsafe decisions. Last month we facilitated a training called Jitambue which is Swahili for 'Know Yourself' for them. This curriculum was developed by one of our alumni to help teenagers know who they are, understand their sexuality, and equip them with the skills to form healthy relationships.
Our hope is that the conversations that we're having with them now will anchor them through this and future seasons, allowing them to know their worth and helping them form values that will guide them through life. Your donation makes it possible for us to provide this much-needed support and we are grateful!
