Chindwin Home Based Care www.sloansassociation.org looks at Esther as a symbol of hope for other women and girls who feel hopelessness in society due to their gender and economic worse they face. Esther Phiri grew up helping her grandmother sell vegetables in a poor township in the Zambian capital Lusaka.Today she is a world boxing champion and a household name in Zambia.It is for this reason that our small organization is striving hard to build the resilience of women to stand up and be counted. In 2011, CHBC-SLA launched a child sponsorship programme to support children of mothers who have not been so lucky like Esther to get a career out of boxing or household livelihoods to put food on the table or send children to school. With only Zkw50,000($10) per month we can send girls to school while with a donation of ZKW500 ($100) we can support women groups to start livelihoods projects to help them become organized women's movements to help one another out of poverty. Join CHBC-SLA and make a difference this month.
PS: CHBC-SLA wishes Esther Phiri a quick recovery on her wrist as she prepares for the next fight soon to come. Viva Women Power!!!
