We focused on those in secondary school and we are sponsoring and also mentoring twenty girl children across the nation using Shaping Our Future Foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, the organization does not only give bursaries in terms of school fees but we have attached two children to a senior executive in the Bank at the moment, going forward we intend to partner further with them to mentor more girls because they need encouragement, it\u2019s not easy to fulfill full education as a girl child in Malawi and we do recognize that and we want to support it,\u201d said Ng\u2019ombe.<\/p>\n<p>Shaping Our Future Foundation Education Programs Coordinator Lawrence Kayesa said the foundation believes that girls have a future if given the necessities needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether with our partner NBS Bank, we thought it wise to come here at Stella Maris Girls Secondary School to give our girls because the foundation believes that young girls have a future and we can only support them by giving them the necessities they need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, what we have provided today to the girls is to help them stay calm in school and maintain high levels of hygiene,\u201d said Kayesa.<\/p>\n<p>The girls were gifted with a pack of reusable sanitary pads, soap, and undies, besides being taught how to use and take care of sanitary materials.<\/p>\n<p>Stella Maris Secondary School Head girl Chisomo Senzani, thanked the Bank and the Foundation for the help rendered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome girls cannot manage to buy sanitary pads so this donation is timely, aside from being motivated to always aim high and dream big,\u201d said Senzani.<\/p>\n<p>The day falls on October 11, and this year was commemorated under the theme \u2018Invest in Girls\u2019 Rights; Our Leadership, Our Well-Being.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
