Gender transformative education offers a critical route out of poverty and to combat gender inequality. But, too often, girls and young women face significant barriers to learning. Oxfam is working with a network of partners in Malawi, Rwanda and Zambia to help change this.

Together, we’re providing scholarships to girls and women, including those with disabilities, as well as wrap around activities – such as mentorship, counselling, career guidance, teacher capacity strengthening on Gender Transformative Education, and others.

This Scottish Government-funded project focuses on supporting girls and women to ensure access, retention, completion, and transition across secondary, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and/ or Tertiary education in Malawi, Rwanda, and Zambia. Working in partnership with government ministries, departments and agencies responsible for education and gender, the project runs over a five-year period from 1st July 2024 to 31st March 2029.
