PACEI TAKES THE MESSAGE TO UBAKALA COMMUNITY IN ABIA STATE!
π International Day of the Girl Child 2026
Theme: βEnd Child Marriage and Invest in Girlsβ Rights!β
Pact for Community and Environmental Impact (PACEI) successfully carried out an outreach in Ubakala Community, Abia State, to mark the 2026 International Day of the Girl Child, engaging girls aged 11β16 years.
The outreach focused on raising awareness about girlsβ rights, the importance of education, preventing child marriage, personal safety, and empowering girls to speak up, believe in themselves, and pursue their dreams.
As part of the outreach, PACEI printed a Girl-Child Pledge for the girls to sign and take home. Through this activity, the girls made a personal commitment to value their rights, remain focused on their education, speak up when they need help, support other girls, and believe in their future. Taking the pledge home also gave them an opportunity to share its message with their families and communities.
As part of our commitment to girlsβ health, dignity, and well-being, PACEI provided menstrual hygiene kits to the girls. This support promoted menstrual hygiene and encouraged the girls to manage their periods with confidence and dignity.
Every girl deserves access to education, a safe environment, menstrual hygiene support, and the opportunity to achieve her dreams. No girl should be forced into child marriage or denied the chance to fulfil her potential.
At PACEI, we believe that investing in girls means investing in stronger families, healthier communities, and a brighter future for everyone.
Together, let us end child marriage and build a future where every girl can enjoy her rights and pursue her dreams.
