Girl Mentorship Programme

Makomborero Zim Overview icons Girl child mentorship

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 (13 – 15 years old) who are facing various challenges that
could hinder them from completing a basic high school
education. The programme is held termly on Saturdays. It is multifaceted and deals with the personal growth, leadership and many other life skills. Our mentors are Makomborero Alumni who are trained in delivering the programme. through this programme, we have seen some wonderful results where the girls have improved in behaviour, communication, school grades and general outlook for life.
