Former Student Club Member

During my time at Tag a Life International (TaLI) where i joined initially as an intern and later as a Programmes Officer, i managed to sharpen my skills in organisation thus filing, reporting etc. I got opportunities to represent the Executive Director in her absence, engaging with high level women which assisted to groom and polish my etiquette. Networking platforms which i was exposed to by TaLI such as the Women's Coalition of Zimbabwe have been helpful even now as i’ve become a leader for young women at the Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe. During my time I
was allowed to work without supervision which helped me to become more responsible and this enabled my leadership skills. I also found a Role Model in the Director and direct Mentorship. This shaped the leader I am today.

I am Mrs Patience Phiri a teacher facilitator for Tag a Life International (TaLI) School Clubs. My experience with TaLI has helped me to help the girl child to achieve better results because Tali trained us to help the girl have a high self esteem which makes them feel they can also do greater things despite the fact of them having a lot of challenges as rural girls. They now have self confidence and we have seen them excelling very well in their academics all through Tali activities which have empowered them.
