50% of the total funds raised will go directly to support the Go Sisters programme in Zambia. The remaining 50% will go to the UK-based charity, Friend of EduSport, a registered charity in Scotland (SCO38719). Friend of EduSport intends to utilise its share of the funds to support educational needs of girls. It will help to provide educational scholarships for girls to access secondary education. The charity currently assists 17 girl peer leaders, who are part of the Go Sisters movement in Zambia, with their secondary education. By raising £60 you can we enable one young person to access education who would not have otherwise been able to do so. The money raised will also help to fund the development of a community library in one of the disadvantaged communities of Lusaka which will open in 2009. Between the three projects more young girls will be able play sport, continue their studies and achieve an active healthy lifestyle.

In order for the next generation to fulfil wider development goals, females must be empowered to be a central part of this process. Allowing them to achieve their educational and sporting potential free from financial restrictions progress will be made. The girls of today become the mothers of tomorrow so in effect we are investing in future generations. Zambia’s youth of tomorrow will grow up supported by an educated mother who can positively influence their child’s future; breeding responsible citizens and a real chance of progress.
