Empower 200 Girls to Save Them From Child Marriage

Empowering Young Girls Through Vocational Skills Training

Many girls are still being married out before their eighteenth birthday as a means to lessen financial burdens on the family. While many are not allowed to go to school for this financial reason, some who manage to break into school soon drop out for the same reasons, making them prone to child marriage. Identifying child marriage as a major barrier to girls’ education, this project is working to empower young girls with relevant vocational skills providing them with opportunity to make income, be able to enroll and finish basic education.

We are pleased to provide report on this project made possible by your generous contributions through the GlobalGiving platform. With your support, we have made significant strides in transforming the lives of underprivileged girls in our community. During the reporting period, we have successfully reached 20 young girls, training them training in wig making. Through our targeted outreach efforts and partnerships with local schools, these girls were selected from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and engaged in this life-changing initiative.

Our experienced trainers deployed interactive sessions and practical workshops to provide comprehensive training to the beneficiaries. The girls, showing remarkable enthusiasm and dedication, displayed their eagerness to learn and succeed in the skill. Favour, one of the beneficiaries expresses her excitement for participating in the training and said the skill will be useful for her in making income that will help her meet personal needs such as buying text books, sanitary pads etc. In addition to the vocational training, we are also engaging the girls in regular mentoring sessions on life skills and financial literacy. This is to instill confidence, leadership, and a sense of self-worth in the girls, equipping them with the tools necessary to navigate through life's challenges.

We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support, which has made this project possible and transformed the lives of these young girls. Your belief in our cause and commitment to empowering these girls will have a lasting impact on their futures and the entire community. As we move forward, we are inspired to continue this work and create more opportunities for marginalized girls to realize their full potential.

Once again, thank you for your generosity and support.
