Impact Stories
Technology shapes nearly every part of our daily lives, from how we communicate to how we learn and share information. It’s not just a luxury, it’s a necessity! In some of our schools, students have never touched a computer, let alone learned how to use one. Their understanding of technology comes only from chalkboard drawings and explanations, lacking the hands-on experience that would make it real to them.
Imagine a world where words are just words, paragraphs don’t tell a story, and reading feels like a meaningless task. For many students in our partner schools, this was their reality. But we’re changing that, one student at a time!
But how do we know we’re truly making a difference? We measure our progress through annual reading assessments, which are crucial in tracking our impact.
Two years ago, our Education Team Leader, Chibwe, started mentoring Kondwani, a teacher from Good Shepherd. The purpose of the mentorship was to equip Kondwani to effectively engage his students in the classroom and gain confidence in the process. Their interactions involved Chibwe observing his lessons and providing constructive feedback. What began as a regular weekly mentoring session evolved into a genuine friendship with mutual respect.
Early this month we brought Chibanja and Chikondano directors together for a training on how to create an effective appeal to angage donors. The directors eagerly embraced the two-day training as well as each other, with each day offering unique insights and opportunities. Chibanja brought a wealth of knowledge from their experiences in the past, and Chikondano brought an eagerness to learn something new.
