Election Fever at Molo Mhlaba Schools!
Our 9-12-year-old girls have been buzzing with excitement, asking lots of questions about voting. At Molo Mhlaba, we believe in following the child’s curiosity, so we decided to run the Intraschool elections!
The girls took charge by creating political platforms, conceptualizing their ideas, branding, and campaigning. Today was Election Day, with inspiring movements like:
Literacy of Peace and Power (LLP)
Girl Power
Just be beautiful
Girls First Movement
Better Future for Girls
Girls Against Poverty
SheLeads Alliance (SLA)
South African Human Rights Fighters
African Girls Organisation (AGO)
African Fearless Girls
BGM
They learned about active citizenship, and the importance of voting, and for those leading campaigns, they got a taste of political leadership and the intricacies of campaigning.
Our goal is to shape future political leaders and encourage all young girls to exercise their democratic rights. The future is female, and it’s bright!
