Increasing impact with GSGC-sponsored boys clubs
GSGC-sponsored Sisonke Boys Club is proving that mentoring boys to understand the value of educating girls and women is essential to changing cultural attitudes that perpetuate poverty and abuse. You will receive more information about this important work, and how you can support more boys clubs, in a special email later this month.
Giving girls confidence to achieve gender equality
Yosefe Girls Club, in Mfuwe, Zambia started the new school term with an assessment of the girls' views on gender issues. This will lay the foundation for discussions about equality in education, the pay gap between men and women, and how to believe in your own value and ability to achieve more than is expected of you. Your support helps our girls spread their wings.

The GSGC center in Victoria Falls takes shape

The remodel plans have been decided. The workers are lined up. The cement has been purchased. The GSGC center in Chinotimba Township, Zimbabwe, is coming together. We’ll keep you posted as the space transforms into a meeting place for visitors and a safe space where GSGC-sponsored clubs and alumnae can meet, create, cry, talk, laugh and grow.  

A heart-felt thank you to all who have helped make this center happen, especially Emily Bronstein!
Life in Southern Africa
Called sadza in Zimbabwe, nshima in Zambia and mealie pap in South Africa, this inexpensive cornmeal porridge is a staple throughout Southern Africa. Ground maize is added to boiling water and stirred vigorously until it becomes stiff. In rural villages, many girls spend hours over cook fires every day preparing the dish.
