Agnes Mwansa graces the annual report cover because she exemplifies the face of change— women empowered by health, education, and advocacy. Her beaming smile and sense of pride is well-deserved!

Four short years ago, Agnes spent her days carrying a little sewing machine door to door begging for work so she could feed her children. Now she’s an employed teacher with a college certificate! Agnes is a dedicated Nursery teacher for orphans and vulnerable children, a sponsor of the after school Girls Achievement Program (GAP), and is a continual learner to further her own education, credentials, and skills to better serve students in the K-7 Chipulukusu Young Peace Makers School.

Agnes fully embraces her destiny! As a GAP sponsor, she coaches and en-courages young girls to stay in school and do well, make responsible choices, and learn to dream big for their own futures! Young women Agnes mentors in the Girls

Achievement Program.

Claiming the Future: The Face of ChangeKafwa are

important leaders in the community. They teach

nutrition, sanitation, and practice basic health

care techniques. From left to right: Beatrice,

Grace, Monica, and Ireen.

Though communities are still stressed from the earthquake that shook Nepal last April 2015, health workers were first responders providing critical relief to neighbors and remote villages in the Himalayans. The Soyamsebika administered a program established by HealthEd Connect counselors to help children deal with trauma and grief. Health workers continue to recruit more soyamsebika to serve as a vital link for health care to the remote poor who lack access to medical resources.

Faces of Change and Transformation

The Good Life Gardens are thriving and have gone viral with whole communities growing small kitchen gardens of spinach, rape, onions, tomatoes, and pumpkins! Children thrive on daily hot lunches full of nutrient rich ingredients not only from the garden but the planting of more Moringa trees! Cooks, gardens, and Kafwa along with good teachers nurture and “grow” strong children.

We’re A Baby No MoreAs Bernard Chalwe, the Chipulukusu School Board Chair says, “We’re a baby no more.” Gardens are overflowing with leafy green vegetables; 1000 orphans and vulnerable children are enrolled in school; classrooms, libraries, and Kafwa Centers are bursting with activity; orphans are receiving scholarships to pursue secondary school; and major expansion programs are planned for Nepal, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Luapula, Zambia in 2016.

All of this change means workload has increased exponentially and additional staff is needed to keep things moving. What a nice problem to have! As part of HealthEd Connect’s planned growth, a full-time Executive Director, Lauren Hall, was

hired in October to support the rapidly growing programs. Lauren brings an enthusiasm, impressive set of skills, and deep compassion to the position. We are delighted to have Lauren on board! Jac and I will continue to provide volun-teer staff support and be fully engaged as board members.

Countless lives are being transformed and lifted from poverty because of the many programs you, our donors, are sup-porting. Thank you for making these incredible changes possible!!
