Empower 3,000 Girls to Rise Beyond Violence

Girl Concern Project has made remarkable progress in empowering young women and addressing maternal health challenges in Garissa due to your continued support. With the successful completion of our Leadership Center, we are excited to share our advancements in building a maternal health hospital aimed at reducing maternal mortality in the region.

1. Leadership Center Completion: We are thrilled to announce that the Leadership Center is now fully operational. This facility serves as a crucial hub for leadership training and community engagement. Key highlights include:

• Henna Classes: Our henna art classes have been particularly successful, providing young women with both artistic skills and entrepreneurial opportunities. Over [insert number] participants have completed the course, enhancing their creativity and generating income.

• Training Programs: In addition to henna classes, we have launched workshops focusing on various issues affecting our community like climate change.

• Community Engagement: The center has fostered a supportive environment for dialogue and collaboration on issues affecting girls and women, encouraging active participation from the community.

2. Maternal Health Hospital Construction Building on our achievements with the Leadership Center, we have begun constructing a maternal health hospital dedicated to addressing high maternal mortality rates in Garissa.

Key developments include:

• Site Selection and Preparation: We have strategically chosen the hospital site to maximize accessibility for local communities. Groundwork is currently finished.

• Funding and Resources: Thanks to the generous contributions from our donors on GlobalGiving, we have been able to build a hospital that has a maternity unit, MCH, Lab, Consultation room and a pharmacy.  We are actively seeking additional support to ensure its successful completion.

3. Future Goals Looking ahead, our primary goals include:

- fully operationalising of the hospital by May 2025.

- Implementing comprehensive maternal health programs focused on education, prenatal care, and postnatal support. - Monitoring and evaluating the impact of our initiatives on maternal health outcomes in Garissa.
