Over the last 6 years, the Zalala Foundation has supported girls education and empowerment in 2 remote communities in rural Mozambique.

With just 10,000 euros per annum over 3 years from the Irish Embassy in Mozambique, we have been able to transform the lives of young girls and boys and open the doors to a brighter future.

Girls Clubs were established to learn about their rights to education, health, freedom from violence and to give them a voice in their communities.

In the space of just one year, school attendance more than doubled and girls emerged from invisibility becoming vocal advocates of these rights, marching through their villages, speaking on live radio and taking part in International Womens Day events.

Following on from this success, the Foundation launched a secondary school sponsorship appeal and five years on, seven girls have completed their secondary education and 4 girls are now entering their second year of nursing training.

These girls continue to take part in advocacy events as members of the Childrens Parliament.

Last year, an additional 10 children received sponsorship from the Zalala Foundation to gain a secondary education and they have just completed their first year.

The Foundation is currently appealing to all our supporters to help these girls and boys complete their secondary and vocational training and, in so doing, to inspire their younger peers in the communities to follow their shining example.

We are appealing for your support to help us to help them to fulfil their potential and realise their dreams. Please spread the word!
