How professionals can help break the poverty cycle and empower communities through education


Listen Later

In this special episode, produced in partnership with Lawyers Weekly’s philanthropic partner So They Can, we explore the work being undertaken by the charity in Kenya and Tanzania to support children (especially young girls) living in extreme poverty by way of community health and empowerment projects, education, and family strengthening.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with So They Can’s partnerships manager, Emily Whitehouse, and country manager in Tanzania, Roselyne Mariki, about who the charity is and why it does its work in East Africa, the myriad challenges being faced by both girls and boys in certain communities in Kenya and Tanzania, including lacking access to food, water, healthcare and education.

Whitehouse and Mariki also discuss the various projects So They Can has running that are supporting children and young adults in communities, including the Empowerment Program for Women and its recent success, how individual professionals can get involved in the charity’s operations, and how businesses across Australia can support its work on the ground in East Africa.
