School fees for 35 girls across three districts
35 girls from support groups in Blantyre, Chiradzulu and Thyolo are on the school fees programme. Guardians met MASYAP before fees were paid.
The school fees programme pays the school fees of young members of our support groups. It currently supports 35 students: from Chiradzulu and Mtendere support groups in Chiradzulu district, Makwasa and Makungwa in Thyolo, and the rest from Blantyre.
Keeping track
Before paying the fees, MASYAP met the parents and guardians to remind them of the bursary agreement: students who break the rules may be removed from the programme. The rules include handing in school fees receipts as proof of payment, and school progress reports so that we can follow each girl’s performance.
What families say
Parents and guardians are very grateful for the programme.
“Thank you for lifting the burden off my shoulders. My granddaughter is intelligent, but she could have dropped out of school for lack of school fees.”
