When girls lose access to education because of forced marriage, economic dependency can become another barrier to rebuilding their lives. F SSIBU Mission Foundation is responding by creating practical skills-development opportunities that can help girls develop greater economic independence.
We are seeking support to equip 20 girls with sewing machines and provide tailoring training. The program will combine practical learning with mentorship and entrepreneurship guidance so that girls can understand how their skills may be transformed into livelihood opportunities.
We also aim to reach more girls through training in meal fabrication, hairdressing, craft weaving, poultry keeping, modern agriculture, and other practical skills.
These opportunities are designed to recognize the different talents and circumstances of the girls we serve. Not every girl will follow the same path, but every girl deserves an opportunity to discover what she can do.
For donors, this is an opportunity to contribute to a skills-based approach to empowerment. Support can help provide equipment and training while creating opportunities for vulnerable girls to develop abilities that can serve them for years.
When a girl gains a skill, she gains something she can carry with her. When she gains tools and mentorship, she gains a stronger opportunity to turn that skill into action.
