Empower a Girl: For Self-Reliance

Millions of girls remain out of school especially in developing countries across the globe.

It was a painful and heart touching story drown from Kumonu (2015) entittle "Millions of girls remain out of school: The gender gap has narrowed, but progress is starting to stall" when he narrated a story of Bright-eyed and clever, a young girl from a small village in Malawi that shares her wish for a better life. The story went onto to say that: as an African girl child culturally, you should always be confine, should wake up very early in the morning, goes onto to cleaning and cooking, eating last, marrying young, meanwhile going to school is another nightmare, if any for a small period of time, with little hope of building up a career in future simply because I’m a girl.

Like any other African child would wish, the Malawi Lady came up openly and she was supported by Plan International - she became a medical doctor; but before that, she had this to say: "I have dreams,” she says thoughtfully. “When I grow up, I want to be a doctor, a judge or maybe a scientist.” With an education, she concludes, she could help her sisters and friends. “And together we could show everybody how girls make the community stronger and richer!
“Give me a chance,” she says disarmingly, “and I’ll take it from there.” and fortunately, her voice reached Plan International, when supported she made it to her dream, she became "A MEDICAL DOCTOR"
The guestion is that: how many girls around the world, especially in the poorest or developing countries those are luckly like that lady like that of Malawi whose dream has becomme true? And how many can not get that chance because of where she is born or because her culture that does value their sex?

With limitation in resources, capacities, and ability; Kole Intellectual would love to be like Plan International and could not wait until everything is in place; but to begin from whenever they are. The ladies in the pictue above are the few out of school lucky ones that happened to be recruited by Kole Intellectual Forum and they are holistically being trained with hope making a better future through the program of Home Economics.

Their support is drown from the fundraising platform of GlobalGiving on the project page link at: http://goto.gg/31562
