Empowerment Workshop to young women and girls
By Millicent Joash | Project leader
On behalf of Community Platform for Empowerment and Development (COPED), I wish to inform you that we were still unable to do the workshops due to the prevailing circumstances, COVID-19 Pandemic and lack of funds to do the same. We are optimistic that we will raise enough funds to carry on with the project when the pandemic ease up and people are back to their normal operations. Otherwise, the situation is still very wanting and to be honest it has worsened with the hardships caused by the Pandemic. The young women and girls needed the workshop and the intervention like yesterday.
Thank you
Millicent

Girls' Fighting Disenfranchisement

Sample of the trained girls
This is a most needed intervention. The girls need to be more aware of who they are and also know their reproductive health. We are very excited to deliver this to the young girls of our community so as to fight disenfranchisement that has faced them over the years.
In the past, we offered 72 teenage girls Empowerment Workshop and reproductive health training and gave them sanitary towels and panties as well for two consecutive years. We couldn't manage to sustain all these due to limited funding. We only managed to meet a few girls, sampled from the two Girls' Clubs we had trained, to assess their growth in education matters and reproductive health matters. The girls exhibited great improvement in the said areas. They expressed themselves more openly and without fear than they did before. The girls were more aware of who they were and knew their rights.
We are very glad that we had taken them through the program and from the feedback we got from the sample of 10 girls that we met, it is evident that the girls are growing and are slowly kicking off the disenfranchisement disease out of their lives. We are excited to see them grow and to offer this opportunity to other girls who have not experienced this but really need it. Our only challenge is limited funding that has made us hault this program. We look forward to continue shedding this light in the community for a great future.
Thanks.

COPED GIRL'S REPORT
By Millicent Joash | Executive Director
Dear friend,
I am writing to inform you again that we did not manage to raise fund for this program (apart from our own funds that andwe used in 2019), what we had got depleted. We therefore suspended it for the meantime to resume later once the funds will be available.
Our economy is slowly opening now and the gatherings are still outlawed. Schools are still closed and there are still restrictions. We will resume activities as soon as possible, when permitted to do so.
We are therefore very sorry that we are unable to generate any report now. We hope to be able to make this possible as soon as possible, especially when we get funding for the same.
Thanks for your support.
