Hear directly from the women whose lives have been transformed through our programs.
"Before joining the Msichana Amani Gender Equality Club, I lacked confidence and knew very little about girls' rights. After becoming a member, I have gained courage and can now stand up for my own rights as well as those of other girls who may not have the confidence to do so. Whenever I encounter a case of violence against girls or children, I report it to my teacher or another trusted adult."
"As young women leaders in Nzega, we have been collaborating closely. We support each other whenever one of us gets the opportunity to sensitize the community, in schools or health centers on issues like menstrual health, child marriage, and gender-based violence. We do this voluntarily and we are pleased to see the community beginning to trust us. I have been given the chance to teach at Mizibaziba Primary School once a week, aiming to educate girls about growth and self-awareness."
"I intervened to support a girl who reported to me her father's plot to take her out of school and marry her off to a businessman in the village. I took action and confronted her father and educated him on the consequences of child marriages and the need to let her daughter pursue her education. As a result, the father abandoned his mischief plans and the girl continued with studies."
