Overseas Activities and Vision
Restore Community charity (under the brand Beyond Ourselves) continued its advan￿ment in
educational development as a means of transfomiin8 lives and improving literacy levels acros5 Zambia.
During 2023 Beyond Ourselves partnered with Jolly Futures and the Ministry of Education in Zambia
to support the advancement of English Literacy acr055 Zambia by providing Jolly Phonics teacher
training. Beyond ourselve￿ contextualised Jolly Phonics Training Aid was successfully rolled out in
Grade 3 across the Copperbelt Province in all 515 government and community schools. IGrade 3 is the
point at which pupi15 are expected to start to read and write in English as guided by the current
Zambian National Curriculum.)
Over 3,500 teachers have now been trained in our contextualised Jolly Phonlcs programme, which
has enabled them to go on to develop the literacy of over 150,Th)O pupi15 Using this revolutionary
teaching meihodology. Beyond Ourselves has tracked improvement In the reading performance of
these puplls. Consistently, pupils using Jolly Phonics have scored two or three tlmes higher than pupils
In non-jolly Phonlcs classes.
The Success of the Copperbelt rollout led to Beyond Ourselves bein8 invited later in 2023 to participate
In key meetings with the Ministry of Education in Zambia to review the new National Curriculum
Framework and bf ing recommendations regarding the new Early Childhood Education and Primary
English Syllabuses. Thls most likely will lead to a National Rollout of the Jolly Phonics training, starting
in 2025.
As the scope of the literacy training grows. Beyond Ourselves remain committed to the gradual
withdrawal of financial support to Kawama Community School and High School Bursaries at G￿ater
JoylKawama schools, bythe end of 2025.
Outside of Ilteravry trainin& In November 2023 Beyond Ourselves facilitated training in the Dignlty and
Dare Programmes which focus on key issues for teens. The life skills programmes cover topics such as
identity, belon8ing, purpose, menstruation, sexual health, puberty and relationships. There were 42
participants
representing about 20 different or8anisations, multiple churches and Northrise
University- trained in this impactful programme.
One major change for the Beyond Ourselves team last year was that Dan and Melissa Whitcombe,
who have led the team in Zambia for the past ten years, relocated to Canada. This brought an
opportunity for a Zamblan Dlrector to step in to the role. It has been a positive transltlon.
Key funding partnerships in the UK with Cranleigh School in Surrey, St Paul's School in London, Stephen
Jame5 BMW in London have all continued. Beyond Ourselves hosted visiting student teams from both
Cranleigh and St Paul's in 2023. The team from Cranleigh yet again excelled in their fundraisin& raising
