Listening to their experiences helps us understand what is working, where barriers remain, and how we can strengthen their pathways to success.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Kelvin Mambwe also recognised the value of continued partnership and collaboration: &#8220;We appreciate the partnership with the Mastercard Foundation and the work being undertaken by FAWE Zambia to expand opportunities for young people facing barriers to education.

The team had the opportunity to sit with learners, listen to their experiences and hear how access to education and skills training was opening new opportunities for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the visits, the conversations also provided an opportunity to reflect on what was working, the challenges learners continued to face, and what more could be done to strengthen second-chance pathways for young women and men. The visit was not merely an assessment; it was a celebration of resilience, a platform for learning and a powerful reminder that when partners united around a shared vision, transformative change became possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/823091709_1776122776868233_1192292393479197453_n-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/823091709_1776122776868233_1192292393479197453_n-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/823091709_1776122776868233_1192292393479197453_n-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/823091709_1776122776868233_1192292393479197453_n-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/823091709_1776122776868233_1192292393479197453_n-767x511.jpeg 767w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/823091709_1776122776868233_1192292393479197453_n-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/fawe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/823091709_1776122776868233_1192292393479197453_n.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 23 to 29 September 2026, a defining chapter unfolded in Zambia.
