Mission Statement
AGE Africa's mission is to provide life-changing opportunities to young women in Malawi through targeted initiatives in education, mentoring and leadership development. AGE Africa currently supports the leadership development and educations of over 3,000 Malawian girls, who will grow up to change their communities.
About This Cause
AGE Africa's vision is that all girls in Malawi will have equal access to secondary education and that young scholars will be empowered to finish school, leverage their educations into viable opportunities for earned income, and have the tools they need to self-advocate for their own life choices. In the short-term AGE Africa’s goal is to graduate talented and disadvantaged young women in Malawi who are equipped with the knowledge, resources, and self-confidence they need to make healthy and informed choices about their futures. In the long-term AGE Africa seeks to narrow the retention gap and produce better outcomes for girls nationwide by creating a model for girls’ achievement and retention in public schools that can inform public education throughout the country. AGE Africa achieves this by building programs that simultaneously seek to achieve individual transformation, community-level impact, and systemic change in Malawi. We are active in three districts, providing high school and university scholarships to extremely needy girls and year-round extracurricular programs that build girls' self-confidence and self-advocacy skills, educate young women about their sexual and reproductive health choices, and expose them to opportunities beyond high school.
