• Mentorship Sessions: Delivered 30 mentorship sessions for 200 girls, covering Protection, Digital Skills Literacy, Employability, and Empowerment. These sessions provided critical knowledge and practical tools for their growth.

• Digital Skills and Social Enterprise Workshops: Organized 4 workshops on Phase 2 of Digital Skills Literacy and Social Enterprise, encouraging girls to explore innovative ideas for community-based solutions.
• NC2 Certifications: Supported 39 girls in obtaining their NC2 certificates, equipping them with valuable vocational skills. Specific accomplishments include:

These achievements underscore the transformative impact of education, mentorship, and sports. None of this would have been possible without your steadfast partnership. Together, we are breaking barriers, creating opportunities, and helping vulnerable girls realize their limitless potential.
