On 16 September 2026, JEMS Foundation hosted the Girls for Change program at Platt Drive Primary School. The program aimed to empower young girls to make positive life choices and for a successful future.
The program focused on girls who are in adolescent stage and who are experiencing physiological changes.
The programme among other things focused on the importance of having clear goals and making good decisions, emphasizing that these choices are key to a bright future. Learners were cautioned on how associating with the wrong peers can negatively affect their future.
In addition, there was an interactive session on personal hygiene and self-love. The girl-leaners were encouraged to take pride in themselves and to maintain good hygiene considering that they will be going through puberty. There was demonstration of how to use sanitary pads correctly. There was also a talk on the risks of engaging in sexual activity at a young age and girls were encouraged to abstain from any activities which can potentially harm their future.
In conclusion girls were helped to understand addressed goal-setting, highlighting that as a young person, setting personal goals is crucial and that the only person who can limit your potential is yourself.
The programme concluded with the distribution of cosmetic hampers to the young girls. Thank you to all our sponsors.
