Project duration: Ongoing
Project's focus area: empowering girls education
|
|
|
|
Historically at-risk and traditionally underserved, girls of African descent are disproportionately affected by poverty, teen pregnancy, school dropout, HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD's). Due to demand, Sisterhood Agenda and partner organizations implement A Journey Toward Womanhood on-site at different locations and provide much-needed training and educational resources such as curriculum guides, student manuals, program protocols, books, knowledge cards, and journals.
|
|
|
|
Using a hands-on, multi-media approach rooted in the African "rites of passage" tradition, Sisterhood Agenda uses a modern approach to instilling knowledge, cultural roots and community awareness by using mentoring, peer influence and collabation. Positive Media teaches girls to be and love themselves! |
|
|
|
This Empowerment Project prepares girls to meet the challenges of their generation by giving them tools, awareness and knowledge to avoid negative outcomes for self-sufficiency, educational attainment, life enhancement and ultimate success. |
