Girls Achieving Dreams!

Carol Chisenga

Evelyn Kase

We are ECSTATICALLY celebrating the accomplishments and goals of two of our Girls Achievement Program (GAP) graduates!

Carol Chisenga and Everlyn Kase were among the first GAP scholars, and in our first high school graduating class in 2020. But their educational goals didn’t end with high school! This year, they applied for our Professional Nurses scholarship and both were accepted to begin a nursing diploma program!

We feel like proud parents to witness their journey! Carol and Everlyn, both orphans raised by extended family members, were able to attend elementary school at Mapalo Young Peace Makers, supported by HealthEd Connect, for orphans and vulnerable children. They were both able to attend high school with a HealthEd Connect GAP scholarship. And now, they will become professional nurses thanks to a scholarship provided by HealthEd Connect. The impact of this continued education will be life-changing for these young women, both individually, and for their families, and community at large. 

We are able to provide these empowering opportunities, for aspiring young women like Carol and Everlyn, thanks to the dedication of supporters like YOU! We can’t thank you enough!

Did you know that girls with secondary schooling are six times less likely to marry as children (under age 18)? And, women's earnings increase by 10% with each additional year of schooling? These are just a few of the good reasons why we support scholarships for girls! www.healthedconnect.org/walden
