Girls’ Power Initiative (GPI), in partnership with Calabar municipal Leo club, successfully organized a skills acquisition training for her center girls. The event took place on Sunday, 29th March, at the GPI Calabar Head Office and formed part of the organization’s Open Day activities, aimed at equipping the girls with practical livelihood skills while providing a fun and safe learning environment.

The training featured carefully selected activities, including liquid soap making, puff-puff making, and popcorn making. These activities were designed to introduce the girls to simple and practical skills that can be developed into small-scale income-generating opportunities, while also empowering them to enhance their personal growth and economic independence.

The training, which aligns with GPI’s commitment to providing holistic support and empowerment for girls, was interactive, highly participatory, and educational. Members of the Leo Club Calabar Municipal District were also present and contributed to the success of the event by sharing warm greetings and words of encouragement with the girls, further inspiring them to continue developing their talents and aspiration.

“Towards 2030: No End to FGM Without Sustained Commitment and Investment.”

Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM) continues to be a widespread issue in Nigeria and the world at large with thousands of women and girls affected and living with its consequences. Although progress has been made through advocacy and community engagement to eliminate the practice, challenges persist due to shrinking resources and pushback against gender equality.

There's therefore an urgent need for collective action to . Governments, communities, organizations, and partners must come together to mobilize resources, strengthen partnerships, and intensify efforts to ensure every girl and woman lives free from violence and harmful practices.
