What Our Team Says

Hear from our team members about their experience working at Msichana and building meaningful careers.

"We are key stakeholders of education, and we collaborate with other stakeholders including the PO-RALG as the key implementers of the policies. We as stakeholders are to ensure girls have full access to education since, when a girl child has access to relevant opportunities it becomes easier to initiate change at family, community and national level."
Ms. Felista Mapunda

Policy Partner
"Your program is significant to our female students considering that the majority of them come from families where girls' education is not valued. Also, girls lack female positive role models to motivate them to set goals which reduces their appetite for education and eventually leads to school dropout, teen pregnancy, and child marriage. I hope this program is the first to many good programs to come for our students."

"As a teacher, I am confident that the family's financial status is not an excuse to deny girls their right to education. I have witnessed that patriarchy communities like Sukuma deprive girls/women of most of their rights and treat them like an inferior gender. I once was consulted by a female on her father's denial to provide her with school materials despite being financially able. I took on the responsibility to support her and now she is in form four."
