Encouragement and motivation - a report from Prisca Ibbu

The Mbedza Orphan Education Programme recently organized a motivational talk for secondary students from Pirimiti Community Day Secondary School, Songani Community Day Secondary School, and Malindi Secondary School. Held on 23rd November 2024, the event brought together our students from these schools for a day of inspiration and guidance.

The discussion on self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-esteem was equally important, as it helped students recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and develop a positive self-image. This is particularly crucial for orphaned students, who may face unique emotional and psychological challenges. By fostering a sense of self-confidence and self-worth, the programme aimed to empower students to overcome these challenges and reach their full potential.

The talk on time management and study skills was also vital, as it equipped students with practical tools and strategies to succeed academically. By learning effective time management techniques and study habits, students can better navigate the demands of secondary school and achieve academic excellence.

The motivational talk event was a resounding success, students were able to ask questions privately to our speakers, this also helped in providing students with valuable insights, practical skills, and inspiration. By investing in the emotional, psychological, and academic well-being of orphaned students, through this project, we're helping to shape a brighter, more promising future for these young individuals.
