About the chapter

THE FORGE at Ngabwe District Chapter

Too many learners in Ngabwe District make decisions about their future with no guidance, no exposure and no one to ask. The chapter puts trained local volunteers in front of them, in their own schools, in their own language.

The Ngabwe District Chapter is the local arm of THE FORGE in Central Province. It is community-led, volunteer-driven and governed by two Team Leads supported by Forge Ambassadors drawn from Ngabwe itself.

The chapter is currently in formation. Once two Team Leads and a founding ambassador team are confirmed, Ngabwe joins the national delivery calendar.
