Empowering women in rural Ekwendeni

Towera Chavula, 58, is a shining example of the transformative power of the Women's Self-Help Groups (SHGs) established by EHAP. After joining the Ng'ongo SHG in 2019, Towera utilized a MK40,000 loan to launch a successful pig and banana farming business. Today, she owns 10 pigs and over 600 banana plants. Her journey illustrates how SHGs, empower women to achieve financial independence and uplift their communities in rural and underserved communities

Promotion of quality eduction for girls

EHAP really helped me turn my life around! They encouraged me to go back to school and now I'm working hard in my standard 7 classes. I'm even an ambassador for the EmpHer project that EHAP is running! I educate my fellow girls on the dangers of early marriages, since I've been through it myself and know firsthand that it leads to nothing good.

Unlocking Potential: Early Childhood Development

Over 50 Community-Based Childcare Centers (CBCCs) established across our catchment area, providing crucial early education and care for vulnerable children. These centers foster children's development, ensuring they are prepared for future learning.
