Girls Leadership and Mentoring Programme
“I feel proud knowing that my small daily contribution helps me and my fellow women provide food for our families. It has taught me the value of saving and working together.” In fact, it is the first time I am buying bag of rice with my money – Mummy Chisom
“I thank God that I am here today at this program, I tested my BP and it was high and i never know, if I did not come, I wouldn’t have known that my blood pressure is high. I was given a reference note to see my doctor. Many of us women do too much work
— Mrs. Bose Oluwole
“As a woman in the transport sector, this training made me feel valued. I now understand that road safety rules are not just about avoiding fines but saving lives and being a responsible professional.”
— Mrs. Blessing Dike
““This training gave me the confidence to use my voice. I now know how to tell stories that educate, advocate, and encourage survivors to seek support. I also learnt that every story has the power to create change.
— Esther Asah
