#StandWithGirls in the Philippines!

Dear Supporter,

The 3^rd Quarter of 2023 concluded with the #StandWithGirls campaign to further awareness, increase our impact to partner schools and communities, and widen our scope in terms of protection and participation of our adolescent girls and young women.

Our school and community partners undergone various and specific training to strengthen their support to our AGYW, and the non-binary. While our regular programming such as Mental Health Sessions, and Digital Skills Training have received positive impact from our AGYW. 

To cap off the quarter, our adolescent girls and young women celebrated the International Youth Day and the Global Day of Play 2023 that centered on Environmental Sustainability. The AGYW and the non-binary tackled on different issues on climate change, sustainable cities, clean environment, and green skills. They used the power of play while tackling the undesirable effects of plastic wastes in the environment.

Here are some of our highlights of the last three months:

• 80 adults from partner schools and communities attended the Digital Skills Training and Upskilling, Psychological First Aid, and Capacity building on Strengthening Prevention against Human Trafficking through the 3-Pathway Program, Key Areas on Child Protection, and Equal Play Effect on Gender Equity.
• 75 adolescent girls attended the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Session.
• 60 adolescent girls were trained under the Digital Skills Pathway Program
• 50 adolescent girls and young women joined the training on basic life support, and self-defense.

With these varied and collective movements for our adolescent girls and young women, we always value their enthusiasm, commitment, and dedication in making their dreams into a reality. We always believe that our programs help to accelerating the Sustainable Development Goal of the 2030 United Nations Agenda. Finally, your continuous support of our programming, brings so much hope and engagement among the AGYW.

Thank you, Hope Bearers!
