Chance4All: Empowering Communities Through Education and Awareness
As we reflect on 2024, we are proud to share the milestones we have achieved, the workshops we have hosted, and the lives we have touched. Through dedication and collaboration, Chance4All continues to create lasting change in the communities we serve.
Highlights from 2024
Throughout the year, Chance4All conducted six impactful workshops across seven schools, addressing critical topics such as menstrual hygiene, reproductive health, mental health, drug abuse, and climate change. These workshops were held on April 5, May 30, September 27, October 17, November 15, and December 6, 2024, targeting over 500 students ranging from Grade 4 to Grade 12.
Our workshops have created safe spaces for open dialogue on topics often considered taboo in Zambian culture, particularly discussions on menstrual health and reproductive issues. Students expressed increased comfort discussing these topics and gained confidence in advocating for their own well-being.
Recurring Themes and Topics
The workshops focused on several recurring and relevant themes:

Our final workshop of 2024 brought together pupils from five schools in Chilenje Zone to discuss menstrual education, reproductive rights, and the environmental implications of climate change. Participants left empowered with the tools and knowledge to educate and advocate within their communities.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we look toward 2025, we are thrilled to announce that Chance4All is in the process of obtaining a national permit. This milestone will enable us to expand our workshops across Zambia, reaching even more schools and students with essential education and resources.
We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support and belief in the power of education. Your contributions have been instrumental in transforming lives and fostering brighter futures. Together, we can continue to break barriers, empower communities, and create lasting change.
