Meet Jacqualee! Jacqualee is one of our long-time student sponsors from the Seattle area. She is part of a group of 10 women who sponsor 14 girls from the remote community of Chikuyu in Malawi. The amazing part is that Jacqualee has visited the Chikuyu community twice, and has gotten to know our Malawi Country Director, beliamichembo ! 👏
 
We asked Jacqualee what motivates her to sponsor students through our ‘Education Is Power' program: 
 
“I know exactly where my donations are going. I’ve stayed in the Malawi village where these girls live. They wake at 5 am, sweep their dirt floors, haul water on their heads in heavy plastic bins, cook a pot of maize over an open fire, and THEN walk over 3 miles to high school. So, what inspires me to donate? My inspiration comes from knowing the grit and hope in these girls’ hearts." ❤️
 
“I chose The Sonder Project in particular for two reasons. I personally know The Sonder Project’s Malawi Country Director, and she is an amazing female who truly understands the needs of rural communities. In addition, The Sonder Project runs its programs so that small donor contributions make a HUGE impact. When I receive that handwritten letter from a young girl I sponsored to go to high school, my heart fills up with her excitement.” 🤗
 
Thank you jacquale for all you do to ensure that young women in Malawi are empowered to secure a future for themselves, and help lift their families and communities out of poverty. We salute you! 🙏
 
In our partner countries, Burkina Faso and Malawi, less than 10% of students complete high school. If you would like to sponsor a student to stay in school and achieve their dreams, click the link in our bio!
