Building Bridges of Hope

Ithemba for Girls Trust was born from my desire to create a ripple effect of positivity for young girls and women in rural communities, transforming lives, one kind gesture at a time."

Our Story

Ithemba was born out of a desire to address the challenges that girls and young women in rural areas face in completing their education. Confronted with:

Child marriages,
Teenage pregnancies, and
High school dropout rates

We knew something had to change. Ithemba was formed to break these barriers and build bridges for girls and young women to thrive. Together, we can create a brighter future where every girl and young woman in every rural community has the opportunity to achieve her dreams.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower adolescent girls and young women in rural areas through inspiration and education, enabling them to reach their full potential, overcome challenges, and become active contributors to their communities.

Success Stories

At Ithemba4Girls, we are proud to share the success of our School Fees Support initiative. Currently, we are sponsoring two girls at Samaringa Secondary School in Honde Valley, Manicaland. One of these girls (doing her O'Level) had dropped out of school because her parents could not afford school fees. Thanks to our intervention, she is now back in school and continuing her education. The other girl we support is still in primary school. This initiative aligns with our mission in promoting that all girls complete their education and achieve their full potential. Together, we are building brighter futures, one girl at a time.
