Life Skills Class
An area private secondary school teacher and wife of the District Commissioner has committed her time to teaching a life skills class for girls at Nanthomba. The Malawian curriculum does address the subject of Life Skills, but HELP believes that these important issues need extra attention.
While some of the after-school classes are for both boys and girls, we hold certain classes specifically for girls and women. Unlike most of our classes, these classes invite any female member of the village that wishes to attend. Girls and women alike are educated about their rights, the importance of education, sexual reproductive issues including the prevention of HIV/AIDS, and the prevention of sexual abuse.
