The Life Skills Training Program was designed by the Christopher Kolade Foundation to equip 500 school girls from low-income families with life skills that will help them solve problems, manage their lives in a productive manner, make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, and make a positive contribution to the community. The project also includes training modules in sexual abuse and gender-based violence prevention, self-awareness, self-esteem, communication, goal setting, and values & leadership.
To date, 119 girls have been reached, representing approximately 24% of our target of 500 girls. Each girl reached represents a step closer to ending sexual violence against girls and empowering them to make informed and confident life choices.
CKF remains committed to its goal of building a generation of empowered and resilient girls. The Foundation continues to leverage partnerships with the Ministry of Education and adolescent health organizations to strengthen program delivery and reach. With continued support from donors and partners, the next round of training activities is scheduled to resume in the next school term, once sufficient funding is secured. Through these efforts, CKF will continue empowering adolescent girls to make informed and confident life choices.
