โจ Empowering Girls Through Mental Wellness โจ
On 8th May 2026, Girl Zone Empowerment Foundation successfully hosted โPlay Strong, Think Strong Mental Health Support for Girls in Bauleni Community a hub activity in partnership with Global Platform Zambia, alongside supporting partners, Women in Global Health Zambia, and Mind Haven.
The community engagement created a safe and inclusive space for adolescent girls and young women to openly discuss mental health, build confidence, strengthen peer connections, and learn positive coping skills through mentorship, team-building, and play-based activities.
One of the most impactful moments was the group therapy session, where many girls and young women opened up about challenges affecting their lives at home, school, and in social settings including lack of financial support for education and basic needs, which greatly affect their mental wellbeing. It was an emotional moment but powerful session where solutions, encouragement, counseling support, and shared experiences reminded every girl that she is not alone. ๐
Together, we continue breaking the stigma around mental health and empowering the next generation with confidence, resilience, and hope.
