SheRose is a non-profit organisation, that aims to support young girls from underprivileged backgrounds in Malawi through education and helping to improve all areas of their lives as a way of tackling the issues of child marriages and social injustice against women.
As well as educating, empowering and supporting women, we also want to provide a platform where women's achievements can be celebrated and social limitation against women can be challenged.
SheRose believes in the power of education. 1 in 2 girls in Malawi are forced into child marriages before their 18th birthday, to men much older than them. They are forced to leave school and take care of their families. This perpetuates education barriers and gender inequality. Above all else, it continues the cycle of poverty.
Our primary aim is to eradicate child marriages by:
Fight against poverty and taking a holistic approach to addressing the various causes of child marriages.
Empowering girls through education by providing financial assistance to those coming from poor backgrounds.
Employing a community based approach, working with all member of the community to support the fight against child marriages.
Equip girls and women with knowledge and create opportunities for them to realise their dreams and ambitions.
