Our sponsorship programme involves providing financial assistance to girls who have been selected into further education, but their families are unable to meet the financial costs. We have been delivering mentorship workshops in primary schools and secondary schools across Thyolo, Malawi. Our workshops aim to help nurture and empower girls (and boys, when whole school delivery takes place), and equip them with knowledge and advice that will enable them to advance towards a better future. Our most recent whole school workshop delivery was delivering Sexual and Reproductive Health workshops in secondary schools Aside from whole school mentorship programmes, we have been delivering a targeted mentorshipscheme with 32girls in |
| primary school and 16 girls in university, where we mentor the university students as they support and mentor the secondary schools students. We are now delivering a business training programme for girls and women, and have since piloted a loan scheme with 4 women who undertook our business training. |

Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | By the end of the financial year, the charity is continuing to support girls with their further education, which is a huge impact, as these girls would not be continuing with their further education without this assistance. We are also providing them with monthly support packages of some of their daily needs. Our mentorship workshops in schools continue to be highly impactful in instilling knowledge in beneficiaries. Our recent workshops around Sexual and Reproductive Health is providing information to your people which can result in: • a reduction in pregnancy and early marriages. • better understanding/prevention around the contraction of HIV and STI. • Menstrual health management. • Challenging gender based violence – as we discuss consent and harmful practices within our sessions. Our targeted mentorship scheme is providing tailored support to the most vulnerable girls in the community. We spend 4 hours a month listening to challenges they face, addressing these challenges, as well as motivating them towards better outcomes around their academics, mental health and life skills development. As a result of our interventions, we are seeing these girls developing positive relationships with their mentors, where they are comfortable to discuss challenges and explore solutions together. Furthermore, there is positive outcomes being demonstrated in their academic performances. We are now delivering entrepreneurship and business management training to girls/women from rural communities so they can create and grow their enterprise, which will allow them to become financially independent. Our pilot loan scheme is making a huge difference in enabling those who have completed the business training to invest in their businesses for greater success. |
