SPEAKING OF COURAGE
1 At age 13, Juliet Nkunika already knows exactly what she wants to do. “I want to be a teacher,
because I admire the work they do,” she says.
This afternoon, Juliet is standing outside her dusty classroom at the Ngowe primary school in
rural central Malawi, where she attends the seventh grade. CARE began partnering with a local
5 organization in 2003 to help the school address the needs of AIDS orphans, fight stigma associated with
the disease and build greater community support for education.
Juliet herself is an orphan. At the Ngowe school, where more than 13 percent of the students
have lost one or both of their parents, the project has helped teachers and students strengthen HIV
prevention clubs, which disseminate information and offer support to pupils and other community
10 members affected by the disease.
For Juliet, getting a good education is of paramount importance. “Some of my classmates have
dropped out of school because they lost interest and others because they got married. But I don’t want
to get married until I have completed my education. I never miss class unless I am sick.”
To enable Juliet and her schoolmates to receive a better education, CARE helped the Ngowe
15 school establish a parent-run school management committee. The committee monitors teachers’
performance and raises money for the school. The funds have been used to buy school materials and
to build latrines. The parents want to raise enough to build a sustainable water source for the school.
“We are happy to be part of the committee because we are helping our children get a better
20 education. Many parents here did not complete primary school, but now they understand the value of
education. This is a change from the past,” says Selena Kachale, a school management committee
member.
Juliet knows that education is her ticket to a better life. “I want to finish school so that I can be
financially independent. I want to be able to pay for my little sister’s school fees and help her buy new
clothes. I admire women who are working,” she says.
25 By helping teachers, parents and students build stronger schools, CARE is working to ensure
that Juliet and other girls like her in Malawi get the opportunity to fulfil their ambitions. Juliet already
possesses intelligence and determination. Equipped with a good education, she will go on to teach
other young girls how to achieve their goals.
