Programs
The Champion School aims at offering all our students a broad and balanced curriculum that provides rewarding and stimulating activities to prepare them for the best social and cultural life.
Whether it is our books or hands-on training, we make sure each student gets personal attention to cope up and flourish in every subject for better scores and a brighter future.
🎯 1. Advocacy & Lobbying
What it does:
Influences government policies and stakeholder funding for women’s and girls’ empowerment, including laws on girl child education and gender-based violence.
Builds coalitions with government officials, private sector, donors, and civic groups to push for systemic reform.
Why it’s important:
By engaging decision-makers and shaping public policy, HEWILSY works to remove structural barriers preventing vulnerable groups from accessing education, services, and rights.
🔧 2. Capacity Building on Counselling & Psychosocial Support
What it does:
Trains counselors, community leaders, survivors, and volunteers in trauma-informed counseling, psychosocial first aid, and support methods.
Focuses on content like sexual and gender-based violence, early pregnancy, and emotional resilience.
Why it’s important:
Empowering local actors with the skills to support healing and mental well-being addresses underlying trauma—especially among survivors, teenage mothers, and marginalized youth.
📡 3. Media Campaigns for Women, Girls & Public Awareness
What it does:
Runs targeted campaigns via radio, social media, and community outreach to raise awareness about girls’ education, gender equity, and sexual health.
Uses storytelling and participatory messaging to shift cultural norms and promote behavior change.
Why it’s important:
Media campaigns help destigmatize issues like teenage pregnancy and early marriage, and mobilize communities to support girls staying in school and women’s empowerment.
🤝 4. Community Engagement & Sensitization
What it does:
Hosts community dialogues, town-hall meetings, and sensitization sessions involving traditional leaders, parents, youth groups, and survivors.
Conducts outreach on topics such as child protection, early marriage prevention, and safe practices.
Why it’s important:
Working at the local level builds grassroots support, encourages local bylaw reform, and facilitates community ownership of change initiatives.
🛠️ 5. Vocational Training & Economic Empowerment

Collaborates with HELJONAPAT Vocational Development Organization (HVDO‑SL) to train women, girls, youth, and commercial sex workers in carpentry, welding, tailoring, computing, hairdressing, catering, and tie‑dyeing.
Provides technical skills and pathways to sustainable income.
Why it’s important:
Skill development helps participants become economically self-reliant, reduces vulnerability, and supports transitions out of high‑risk situations.
🔐 6. Engagement with Commercial Sex Workers & Health Outreach
What it does:
Reaches out to commercial sex workers (“slay queens”) to raise awareness on STDs/STIs, provide counseling, and promote safer health practices.
Advocates for their rights and inclusion.
Why it’s important:
This approach addresses a marginalized group’s health and economic needs, improves access to care, and promotes dignity and well-being in challenging circumstances.
🤝 7. Collaboration & Partnerships
