Umbuzo

We currently have Girls Club with Grade 7 girls in 4 different schools. We have begun to develop friendships with them where they feel comfortable talking with us. This is an answer to prayer so thank you for lifting us up!

We want Girls Club to be a place where the girls can come and ask questions that they may not be able to ask anyone else. Some of these girls do not have parents or mothers to teach them.

We have created a question box where girls can write on slips of paper questions they have that they do not want to ask in front of everyone. This allows for us to address the question to the group.
