Nurturing Minds is excited to announce our new initiative to become a climate-progressive organization that recognizes the importance of sustainable practices in today’s world. We recognize the intersection between climate change, social justice, gender equality, and education. This is incredibly important to Nurturing Minds because women and girls are disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change, and education is a key factor in helping them to adapt and to build resilience to these impacts.

2023 marks the 15th Anniversary of Nurturing Minds and SEGA! One of the ways we are celebrating this important milestone is through a monthly blog series titled “SEGA is the Solution”.

Young girls are most heavily impacted by lack of education, poverty and climate change. A striking body of evidence demonstrates that organizations like Nurturing Minds and SEGA are the solution to break the cycle of poverty, create prosperity and combat climate change. Each month we will be spotlighting one of SEGA’s graduates so you can see the impact that SEGA’s holistic approach to education has had on their lives.

In 2017 I traveled to the SEGA Girls’ School for the first time. I was encouraged to participate in the English Fluency Program by several fellow Board members and I jumped at the opportunity. I had been eager to go and visit SEGA to see firsthand how our school operated and meet our SEGA partners and students, but I wanted a purpose, not just a visit.

Recently, Nurturing Minds received the letter below from SEGA graduate Elina. In her letter, she expressed her thanks for being able to visit the U.S., along with fellow SEGA graduate Khadija, as part of this year’s Study Abroad Program. With Elina’s permission, we are excited to share her experience - in her own words - with the broader NM and SEGA community.

After two and a half years away I was finally able to get back to SEGA where so much has changed and yet in so many ways things have also remained the same. Nurturing Minds and SEGA co-founder, Polly Dolan, joined me along with several volunteers, including two young women who led clubs supporting SEGA while in high school and my niece!

In honor of Menstrual Hygiene Day - a global holiday celebrated annually on May 28th which helps break the silence, raise awareness and changes negative social norms around menstrual health and hygiene - we are excited to share with you this blog which has been written by SEGA’s Form 3 student Magreth. Magreth has an interest in being a broadcast journalist when she is older and has written this blog on a topic that is important to her.

Some people become teachers by obtaining education degrees. Others become teachers by just opening their hearts to enrich the lives of others. If you fall into either category AND want to add a life-changing, cultural experience to that accomplishment, then we invite you to join us for the return of our in-person, two-week long English Fluency Program this fall at the SEGA Girls’ School in Tanzania.

Meet Clementina Adam Mwambene, SEGA’s Program Coordinator for its Modern Girl Community Outreach program, also called Msichana wa Kisasa. She joined SEGA in June 2016 and has helped the Modern Girl program expand substantially during the past six years. She says, “I think the platform that SEGA provides in championing girls’ education and empowerment, whether in school or in the community where I work, is amazing. Through SEGA I have seen girls (mentees) and mentors become young women of substance.”

At this point, most of us are closely monitoring COVID-19 vaccination rates in our areas of the world. During the early stages of the pandemic, many eyes were fixed on continental Africa's response. Almost 2 years after the first case of COVID-19 was reported in February 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) finds that the continent can control the pandemic in 2022, if the current vaccination trend continues.
