10、their mother. At a crucial point in their lives, the girls were suddenly faced with grief and uncertainty. They had to put key choices on hold, miss weeks of classes and were unable to attend pre-university orientation events. They were at a crossroads and risked missing out on the bright futures th
11、at they and their mother had been working so hard toward. Thankfully, there were people in Maeva and Marevas lives looking out for them in their most vulnerable moment: teachers and sponsors at their school, but also Guilne from Deloitte France, a mentor for the girls through the Capital Filles prog
12、ram. Capital Filles helps strengthen the autonomy and confidence of French high school girls with low socioeconomic backgrounds. The girls are mentored by women from Deloitte France and other companies to encourage them to broaden their horizons and explore traditionally male- dominated industries l
13、ike technology and engineering. Supported by their schools and mentors, the students acquire skills that will allow them to continue their education and enter the job market confidently. This year, 40 female professionals from Deloitte France are volunteering as Capital Filles mentors - providing so
14、ft skills workshops and one-to-one support in the girls last year at school. Students are also invited to visit Deloitte offices and take part in cultural outings. The bonds between mentors and mentees run deep, and often endure through university and past the girls first steps into the world of wor
15、k. 9 Of the girls taking part in Capital Filles in 2018-2019, 94% passed their baccalaureate, and 91% went on to higher education. Deloitte France professionals have mentored 135 girls since 2014, with more women volunteering to be mentors year after year. This may be because the mentors gain just a
16、s much as their mentees from the experience, as Guilne did: “The difference a program like Capital Filles can make to a young girl is staggering. By teaming up with her school to give her the support she doesnt necessarily receive at home, and by showing her whats possible, we can impact her whole o
17、utlook on life. Through that connection, we get to witness moments that will echo through her life for years to come.” The bond between Guilne, Maeva and Mareva made all the difference when they needed it the most. Just a few months after their mothers passing, the girls graduated with honors and we
18、re subsequently accepted in a prestigious “classe prparatoire” course. Today, they are studying economics at Nanterre University. Against the odds, Maeva and Mareva have taken the next steps on the paths their mother had wanted them to take. “Our experience with Deloitte France allowed us to dream,
19、to imagine that anything is possible and make us feel that we could accomplish our goals if only we were given the tools to do so. What we can learn from our hardship is perseverance. When we are tempted to give up, we go up on the top floor of our university and look at the Deloitte office building
20、 and think again about our story. Today, we have a desire to succeed and to lend a hand to others to pass on to them what was given to us.” 11 13 Today, 17-year old Mi Young is looking forward to her weekly mentoring session with In Kyoo, a Deloitte Korea partner who has been visiting Jungsim Girls
21、Middle and High School in Anyang, South Korea, for a few months. It is fair to say that Mi Young and her fellow students have had a difficult journey so far. Because Jungsim is no ordinary school: its a detention center. You dont graduate from Jungsim; you get released. The girls at Jungsim have poo
22、r social skills and low self-esteem. They have not had a formal education and need help in building their confidence. This is why In Kyoos visit means the world to Mi Young. Today, In Kyoo may talk about keeping a budget, securing a loan or other basic financial concepts skills that will help Mi You
23、ng when she goes back out into the world. But beyond this practical education, what Mi Young really needs is someone to listen, spend time with her, and show her that there is hope in life after Jungsim. Confidence is elusive. It is hard to define and impossible to measure. But when it is found afte
24、r a tough start in life, its a superpower. For Mi Young, it had been an almost unknown quality. But not anymore. You can see it in the way she holds herself now, in how she stands taller.

25、 e r y h i g h 15 Getting support from Deloitte Korea professionals has been a transformative experience for her, and for more than 5,500 girls at Jungsim since 2013. Group sessions lead to one-on- one conversations on what ”real life” is like, with the girls asking endless questions after classes.
26、And soon, connections are made that impact mentors and mentees far beyond the tightly monitored environment of Jungsim. Long after the sessions, the girls send tokens of their gratitude to those who took the time to visit them: long heart-felt notes peppered with hand-drawn funny faces, or parcels w
27、ith cakes made in their last baking class. Without fail, mentors write back with words of hope and encouragement. One letter from a student reads: “For the longest time I thought only people with good university education or raised in a good family could join a company like yours. Ive always looked
28、down on my life and set low goals for myself. But you have given me confidence to study hard to get a chance to work at a company like Deloitte.” In Kyoo recalls one of his mentees writing that she had never before felt so respected or encouraged. That, because society had not abandoned her, she was
29、 in turn inspired to help the less fortunate after she leaves Jungsim. Countless letters have been received by Deloitte Korea mentors, with one mentor proudly keeping more than 80 in his office. Each is a powerful reminder that spending time, showing kindness, and giving a second chance can truly ch

Rebels stormed her village in South Sudan, killing many of her family, friends and teachers. Tracey and her sister managed to escape the massacre,

After losing what was dear and familiar to her, Tracey now has to rebuild her life. And support in helping her do that can come from unexpected place
32、s. Thousands of miles away, baby Charlie was the 2521st child to be born from a parent working at Deloitte UK since June 2015. Like the 2520 before him (and many more since!), he recently received a gift from Deloitte UK: baby clothing supplied by From Babies with Love. The small present let Charlie
33、s parents know that Deloitte cares about them and the most important things in their lives, and wants them to feel as connected to work when they return as they did when they set off on their parental leave, which will change their perspective on life in so many ways. But the gift has another vital
34、purpose. From Babies with Love is a social enterprise that donates 100% of their profit to charities providing education, healthcare, support and hope to thousands of orphaned and abandoned children around the world. And this is where Traceys story starts again. 21 Within a few weeks of their arriva
35、l at Palabek, Tracey and her sister were able to join classes at Street Child of Ugandas Progressive Primary School. Street Child, one of From Babies With Loves charity partners, provides Tracey and many other children in the camp and across the world with high-quality education, school supplies, da
36、ily essentials, and a lifeline to a better future. With regular tuition, new friends, and teachers to inspire her, Tracey can now look forward to a day where she too can help others: “My dream for the future is to be somebody good and to be a good mother. After completing my studies I would like to
37、become a doctor. I want to help people, like the doctors here have done.” Charlie doesnt know it yet, but life is all about connections. A gift can help strengthen the relationship between employer and employee. One simple act can connect the fates of two children living a world away. And a small ge
38、sture at one point in time can make a life- changing difference. 23 25 Last November, Nondumiso woke up and found herself in California. It wasnt luck and it wasnt magic though it felt like a bit of both, as this was the first time she had left her native South Africa. Nondumiso was the winner of th
39、e 2019 GirlCode Hackathon in Cape Town and her prize was a trip to Los Angeles for the Wonder Women in Tech conference. “California will go down as one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life. To be in a space with so many women in tech from all over the world was unbelievable and so insp

Last year, Deloitte Africa partnered with GirlCode to host the hackathon for over 300 female IT students. There, in the space of two days, Nondumiso and three friends built a chatbot to enable childr

43、to keep doing what we love and, in turn, hopefully inspire other young women looking at this as a career path. Because of the opportunities we received through GirlCode and Deloitte, we hope to give back to our communities by teaching young girls to code, as well as using our skills to build solutio

Her love for coding only grew from there. This is a journey that GirlCode and Deloitt

So building on the success of this first year of collaboration, they are now exploring new ways to connect with many more students and positively impact their life chances through coding.

Nondumiso is living proof: “My drive and desire to create tech solutions that will have a lasting impact on the disadvantaged in South Africa is one of the reasons I wake up in the morning.

But often the lack of flexible arrangements, the dread of having to justify a gap in employment, and the assumption that your commitment or value will be questioned can make going back to work challenging for many parents who have taken time off.
