Empower 3,000 Girls to Rise Beyond Violence

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Thank you for believing in Girl Concern Org and in the potential of survivors of gender based violence to become confident leaders and changemakers in their communities. Your encouragement and continued interest in our work inspires us to keep moving forward, even during periods when funding is limited.

Since January, our project has not received new donations through GlobalGiving. While this has slowed the implementation of our planned activities, it has not diminished our commitment to empowering girls and young women in Garissa County.

One important milestone during this reporting period was our participation in the Economic Justice Rights (EJR) Training on the Care Economy by Un Women. The training strengthened our understanding of how unpaid care responsibilities affect women and girls and provided practical approaches for advocating for more inclusive economic opportunities and leadership for young women. The knowledge and partnerships gained through this experience will help us design stronger, more responsive leadership programmes for the girls we serve.

Although financial constraints have limited our ability to conduct community activities at the scale we envisioned, we have continued planning, learning, and building the organizational capacity needed to deliver greater impact once funding becomes available. We remain committed to creating safe spaces where girls can develop leadership skills, build confidence, and become advocates for positive change in their communities.

To everyone who has supported us in the past—thank you. Your belief in our mission has brought us this far, and we are deeply grateful.

To those considering supporting this project, your contribution can make a meaningful difference. Every donation helps us resume leadership workshops, mentorship sessions, life-skills training, and community engagement activities that empower Somali girls to overcome barriers and realize their full potential.

Together, we can ensure that a lack of resources never stands in the way of a girl's leadership journey.

With gratitude,

Muhubo Hassan
