Girl Mentorship Programme
Makomborero works with schools in the high density areas to identify vulnerable* girls in Form 2 (aged 14 – 15), in order to provide a mentorship programme, that gives them hope and a vision of their futures, beyond the societal pressures they face.
Our Girl Child Mentorship Programme works with Form 2
girls (14 – 15 years old) who are facing various challenges that
could hinder them from completing a basic high school
education. The programme is multifaceted and deals with
personal growth, leadership and many other life skills. Our
mentors are Makomborero Alumni who are trained in the programme.
*Vulnerable – girls who experience intense family pressure, due to the economic situation, to drop out of school; girls whose education is not a priority; girls who feel that they have no hope beyond getting married and leaving school before they are 15; girls who see no purpose or value in education; girls with disabilities, etc.
