We funded Ireen Mutale (27, 2nd right) through agricultural college. Ireen is now employed by a local NGO where she advises poor families on their smallholdings; a job she truly loves! Her childhood was very difficult, with little to eat at home but with secure, salaried work she is now able to fully support six family members who have moved from her deceased father's shack into the 3-bedroom brick house her salary has built. She is also funding her younger sister (in purple) and niece (white t-shirt) through secondary school and she feeds her little nieces and nephews.

So far, 54 ZOA-supported orphans and other vulnerable youths have graduated from college and are now working as teachers (87%), nurses, agriculturalists and civil servants.These are young people who would have dropped out after primary school without support and would now be subsisting on $1 a day.

Please can you help us enrol and support a further 20 older orphans and other vulnerable youths at college? #lifechangers
