Happy International Women’s Day! 💜

Our Girl Empowerment Program (GEP) supports vulnerable young women, young mothers, and girls of all ages. Yesterday, we celebrated International Women’s Day with a special program tailored to their needs.

GEP is a platform dedicated to empowering girls and young women by providing information, support, and opportunities for self-development. Through this program, we aim to strengthen their confidence, encourage growth, and help them build brighter futures.

Together, we continue to uplift, support, and empower the next generation of strong women. ✨

GIRL EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM - Meet our girl empowerment team: Hanneke, Eunice, June and Rose!

The team is proud to announce that last year our mentorship programs reached over 3000 young girls! In addition we have 10 young teenmothers groups in nine regions that we support, organised scholarships and successful observance days. The team focuses on empowerment through awareness campaigns and mentorship programs such as menstrual health, family planning, self love, boundaries, education and the future, positive parenting, first 1000 days, entrepreneurship and skills, and so on.

We are very proud of the team and their accomplishment and want to thank partner organisations, schools and guest-speakers for their collaboration for a very successful 2025!

Next year the team will add boy empowerment program and special needs program to their curriculum.

The team is always looking for funding for scholarship, Afripads and funding to carry out more activities to reach more girls. If you are interested in providing funding, please DM us!
