Help Educate 40 Bright Girls in Lesotho

On behalf of Educare Fund, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous contributions. We are particularly grateful for your support during the recent GlobalGiving 2026 Little by Little campaign. Your support plays a vital role in advancing our mission, and we are truly honoured by your commitment. Your gifts enable us to continue our work with greater impact and purpose.

With your support, 42 girls finished high school in 2025. The results were mixed, but 16% of the girls achieved grades that put them on track to progress to tertiary education, including university. The rest of the group achieved a range of grades that will enable them to pursue skills-based training in jobs such as hairdressing, tailoring, plumbing, electrical installation, and several other entry-level roles. They can also access jobs in areas such as office assistant, cashier, shop assistant, waitress, and office runner. Their success in this regard depends on the availability of jobs in the country, since, in some cases, these GCSE graduates may have to compete for lower-level jobs with individuals who have higher-level qualifications, such as diplomas or university degrees. Of course, these girls would be much worse off without their GCSE qualifications.

This year, we are expecting another 26 girls to complete their high school education. It goes without saying that none of this would be achievable without your generous support. We remain dedicated to stewarding your contribution responsibly and ensuring it directly supports the initiatives that matter most.

In February, I had the opportunity to visit one of the schools attended by some of the girls in the cohort. I was really impressed by their enthusiasm for their education and their plans to improve their futures. Listening to them talking about their goals was truly uplifting. This is what Lerato said:

I am grateful for this opportunity to improve my life chances. I am working hard to realise my dream of becoming an engineer.

If you would ever like additional information about the programmes your donations support, please feel free to reach out. We value your partnership and look forward to keeping you informed of the meaningful progress your generosity helps make possible.

Thank you once again for your trust and support.

With sincere appreciation,

Liphethiso Monica
