Hello again everyone!
We are very excited to update you on one of the fantastic empowerment projects being delivered to young girls in Ndhiwa.
In the month of July, Twende Pamoja delivered digital training to girls accross all 16 partner schools with sessions focused on internet browsers and girls' rights and responsibilites.
Under the guidance of our fantastic project leaders Melvin and Grace, the primary focus was to empower the girls with essential digital skills while utilising internet browsers as a tool to explore and understand their rights and responsibilities.
The training aimed to equip the girls with knowledge about their rights as children, instil a sense of responsibility both at school and home, and introduce them to valuable wealth of online resources available through internet browsing.
During the training, the girls delved into the fundamental aspects of basic child rights and responsibilities, gaining valuable insights through engaing in group discussions.They learned how to navigate internet browsers like Google Chrome, conducting searches to explore child-friendly resources and articles on their
rights. They also discovered the importance of being responsible and respectful individuals in their homes, schools, and communities.
The training further involved exploring relevant YouTube videos to gain a deeper understanding of child rights violations and their impact. Emphasis was placed on online safety and responsible digital citizenship, empowering the girls to recognize and report harmful content while promoting critical thinking and fact-checking skills.
As a result of the training, the girls were able to demonstrate a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities, showing confidence in applying them in various real-life scenarios.
The use of engaging videos helped make the learning experience enriching and enjoyable, while also instilling an understanding of their rights and responsibilities as children. Group discussions and activities were conducted encouraging active participation and open communication to help build the girls' confidence.
The girls' enthusiasm and eagerness to learn during the training sessions were truly heartening and indicative of its success. Their active engagement throughout the training was a true testament to their willingness to absorb and apply the knowledge.
The training sessions were interactive, engaging, and highly impactful. The girls displayed great enthusiasm and active participation, thoroughly enjoying the experience. With further support for our project, we will be able to provide more empowerment sessions for these young individuals with the ability to find valuable information and recognize child rights violations effectively.
Together, we can build a generation of informed, confident, and empowered young girls who will make a positive impact on society.
Thank you!
