Did we tell you all that we just recently received funding from GlobalGiving to add psychosocial support component to our Girls: Better after quake program? What that means is that along with providing leadership support to our earthquake affected girls, we will now be providing them peer support and training on psychosocial support throughout the next year, and provide them with seed fund for entrepreneursip!! I hope you are as excited and happy as we are.
Also, the girls are continuing to receive leadership support, participating in safe space meeting through social mobilizers, enhancing their communication skills and discussing possibilities with their community leaders. Next month they have a special session with their local government, where they will discuss the challenges they are facing to becoming social champions. You should definitely stay tuned with us to hear more about that from us.
Like you can guess, the path to achieveing this is not easy. Working with adolescent girls, we have to be mindful of their expectations, have sessions keeping in mind their classes, work with their gate keepers, and show them the impact on their lives so that the community can witness them.
Thanks for your support that we have been able to make this difference for them, and we hope to receive continued support from you!
