Dear Donors,
Our Girl-Mother project is ongoing with a lot of community engagement in various communities in our implementing areas (Northern Region) which has send key messages to community stakeholders about the need to empower the Girl-Mother, this engagement has really speaks volumes, as community people themselves have seen the need. The message of accessing education and training, for these girl-mothers is making some inroads, the community stakeholders consider this as pivot to save these girls from prostitution, HIV-AIDS, poverty, burden to the nation etc. This initiative will break the cycle of poverty. This message was well embraced by the beneficiaries, stakeholders and communities.
Furthermore, we continue with our radio discussion programmes which have gain a lot of momentum, and it could be seen by the many feedbacks we received after a phone line was opened for discussion, various inputs were made by different actors. The need for empowering these girl-mothers was well greeted during the phoning programme, it really shows some huge concerns and it was a burden to many who have these girl-children at heart. They are actually pleading for support to these girls, which could help them gain a life changing skills.
So far we have identified 200 Girl-Mother in these communities visited, which are in dire need. But since the project lacks the necessary funding to take care of its beneficiaries. We saw the need to continue to appeal to our donors and globalgiving to help in diverse ways. We cannot achieve any success without you the donors and your support to make this project a success lies in your donations.
