In this powerful episode, we spotlight Caron Lemboe, the remarkable force behind Project Esther—a grassroots initiative transforming the lives of young girls in Malmesbury and surrounding areas. Born from Caron's own childhood experiences of starting school without basic necessities, Project Esther now supports girls from grade 8 to matric through four essential pillars: education, leadership, dignity, and hope. With unwavering faith and limited resources, Caron isn't just helping girls stay in school—she's cultivating the next generation of confident, capable female leaders.
What began as a simple effort to help grade 8 girls start their school year well has blossomed into a life-changing movement. Caron shares how her personal struggles and experience as a youth leader informed her approach to supporting these young women through practical interventions like sanitary pad drives, exam-time breakfasts, mental health support, and personal development events.
