MTC Founder Wins #SheInspiresMe Award!

1/1/2021

0 Comments

 
On November 23rd 2020, MTC founder and president Maka Chikowero was named the winner of the 2020 #SHEINSPIRESME Youth Award! The award is sponsored by the Chicago Red Stars women’s professional soccer club and she was one of three finalists in the youth (under 18) category.

The Chicago Red Stars #SHEINSPIRESME Award is an annual award that is presented to women who exemplify leadership, practice social responsibility, and inspire and uplift their community. “This is a win not just for me but for all the girls that I am supporting through my nonprofit,” Maka said in a statement after the announcement was made. “I hope all the girls I lead feel inspired to be game-changers for a more equal and just world. MTC girls, this is for you! Remember the future is female, the future is young, and the future is bright.”

The MTC Educate A Girl Inc board and advisors received the news of Maka’s win with joy and excitement. 2020 has been a difficult year in many ways. Schoolchildren have not been able to benefit from in-person learning and while many others around the world have not been able to access any learning services at all. Maka’s efforts through her organization have brought more attention to the situation of girls from rural communities in Zimbabwe. Many orphaned children drop out of school after primary school. Maka was one of 147 individuals from 42 countries who were nominated for the 2020 International Children’s Peace Prize although she was not one of the three finalists.

Here is the 2020 #SheInspiresMe Award winners announcement:

Face Masks Project

8/21/2020

0 Comments

 
In Chimanimani, MTC field officers and volunteers made 500 face masks to help with the safe reopening of schools. Our own MTC scholars and soccer players are involved in this project. We are observing social distancing which is why we are having fewer people come for the project per day. Thank you for the donations towards this project. The community has responded so well to the call to volunteers to sew face masks.

Online Learning in Zimbabwe

6/6/2020

0 Comments

 
Since mid-March, I have been doing online learning. I have been worrying about my friends in Chimanimani, Zimbabwe, that my organization is sending to school. The girls are orphaned, they don't have phones so can't get on WhatsApp and join a class.

Google Classroom? Zoom? Wi-Fi? No chance. I am worried about the widening gap in education between those with some way of accessing tools for online education and those who are simply cut off. My friends and I are the same age and they are remaining behind.

MTC has been sewing face masks to donate in the community to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This request broke my heart because education is close to my heart and the principal wrote to me asking for help, so my friends can get some education, yet I can't help.
​
If anyone can help me buy cloth for this school to start teaching again while keeping the students safe, please donate on my website and I will send the money to them. Your names will be on t
he response letter too.
Please see the attached letter from the school principal.
