NIGEE has always had a dream to set up a Girls’ Empowerment Centre to be a one-stop shop for all girl-empowerment activities, i.e. to house a vocational training centre; an employment bureau, a bridging/transition centre, an early childhood education centre and a rescue centre.
The vocational training centre and the early childhood education centre sections are functional. We are offering courses on hairdressing, beauty therapy, fashion and design and basic computer skills. Girls who have children below school-going are allowed to come with them at the centre, where the children are cared for while their mothers are at school. In addition, the children are offered nutritious porridge at no extra cost – thanks to donations from GlobalGiving.
We continue to fundraise to ensure the other components of the Girls’ Empowerment Centre come to fulfilment.
To the GlobalGiving team and all our donors, thank you so much for immensely contributing towards the realisation of our dream.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
