Gogo Grandmothers
Gogo Grandmothers is a non-profit organization supporting the programs of SAFE (Sub-Saharan African Family Enrichment) in Malawi, Africa villages and schools.
SAFE scholarships are intended to support the neediest students, in particular orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in SAFE communities, selected to government secondary schools, to enable these students to complete their education, for a number of reasons. First, we want these students to become productive citizens who can give back to their communities and their nation. Secondly, we can assist them to develop good character through WHY WAIT? Life Skills lessons taught in their respective schools. Thirdly, we want them to inspire their peers through role modeling. Finally, we want them to develop the heart to support their siblings and gogos, as well as other members of their communities.
Tabitha Chilupsa is a young girl who was born on 1 March 2004. She is the third born in a family of 5 and stays in Simyoni Village, T/A Malemia in Zomba. Tabitha’s father died when she was 8 years old and all the children lived with their mother (a subsistence farmer) in one of the remotest areas called Chingale in Zomba. When Tabitha was in Standard 4 (4th grade), her uncle went to the village to take her to where she is now to continue with her studies. Beta Delta is currently supporting Tabitha with her schooling.
