Thandiwe, Maydama Foundation, Zambia

Youth are not only the beneficiaries of transformation in education, they are essential partners. In fact, they are the transformers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, youth-led networks and organizations are mobilizing and working together to transform education to help every child get a quality education, no matter who she, he or they are. Thandiwe is working to change the script on gender norms in Zambia, smashing stereotypes by rewriting textbooks to show that girls can be anything they want to be!
