Girl Child Empowerment

Girl Child Empowerment

We believe that every girl, woman, and child deserves a life of dignity with equal access to safety, education, and economic prosperity. The Girls’ Empowerment Project provides education and life skills through accelerated school courses that equip the girls with basic education and life skills for a bright future. Our economic empowerment program teaches the girls entrepreneurial and vocational skills to earn an income for themselves and their children. Each participant receives holistic services designed to protect, heal and empower. They engage in a series of holistic program components, which includes education, life-skills training, case management, job skills training, daycare for girls’ babies and income generation. This project gives vulnerable young women all that they need become confident and self-sufficient community leaders – earning an income to provide for themselves and their families, and engaging the community in an important dialogue about human rights. The beneficiaries of our Program are invited to serve as peer mobilizers and lead discussions on gender based violence with others in the community. Their participation creates a shift in poverty toward a life of rebuilding and belonging.
