We are honored to be featured in a second episode of the Deep Impact Investing Podcast with Kimberly Griego-Kiel. Kimberly visited Zimbabwe and Zambia in 2022 and in the podcast reflected on her trip and the life-changing time she spent with the boys and girls of the Global Sojourns Giving Circle family. Click below to listen, and if you enjoy that, be sure to listen to the next episode on lessons from her trip titled, ”What you should know about conservation work in Southern Africa.”

We’re launching GSGC Talk Radio! Developed to give voice to our local changemakers, this inaugural episode features Zambian Mentors Gloria Mubita of Believe Girls Club and Patrick Kazadi at Mugurameno Girls Club. Click the link below to hear Gloria and Patrick's personal journeys to become Mentors and why youth say GSGC’s mantra — I see you. I hear you. I believe in you. — is important. 

When you ponder the impact of your donations to GSGC, remember Ruth and her mother. Their inspiring statements were recently shared by our partners at Time+Tide Foundation in an update about Mugurameno Girls Club in Zambia. It's a good day when we know we are lifting and changing lives for the better. 

“The Girls Club has been a big part of my life. I’ve learnt the importance of speaking up about things that I believe in, and that when you speak without fear, people are more willing to listen to what I have to say. I participate more in class, I ask when I am not clear on something, and I am not shy. Because of being in the Girls Club, I am proud of how my academic performance has improved and how my reading in English has improved.” ~ Ruth, grade 5, Mugurameno Girls Club, Zambia

“Seeing my daughter in the Girls Club makes me a happy parent because I have seen her interest in schoolwork and reading improve. She spends more time practicing reading and going through her schoolbooks even on weekends, which she was not doing before joining the club. My daughter has also learnt to prioritize and plan her days better. I know that this will help her make better decisions concerning her life in the near future and in years to come.” ~ Blessings, Ruth’s Mother, Lower Zambezi, Zambia
