Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) is a Peace Corps initiative encouraging girls to become more active citizens by building self-esteem and confidence, increasing self-awareness, and developing skills to set goals and life planning. Thousands of clubs around the world are promoting gender equality and female empowerment for girls ages 10-19.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to, confidence, healthy relationships, female reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence, income-generating activities, and leadership.

Crossing the Border from Nakonde, Zambia to Chitipa, Malawi

Most people cross from Zambia into Malawi and vice versa via Chipata/Mchiinji. The roads are well paved, making it a highly traveled road a simple journey. However, we started from Kasama in Northern Zambia, meaning it would take us 24 hours of transport to reach Malawi. Plus I wanted to start in Northern Malawi and work our way down. There wasn't much information online on how to cross the Nakonde/Chitipa border, so I thought a write-up would be helpful for travelers.
