The young people of today - some half of the world’s population - will shape this future. So we need to work with them now, to help shape that future for the better. Because of this, the society needs to pay more attention to these people — to their behaviour and to the services provided for them.
Dear Friends,
Welcome to G.I.R.L.S for young adult girls, a totally interactive mentorship based initiative for girls where self-identity and awareness is discovered, the rekindling of interest in self-value and self-worth is fanned, and a place where social-values to empower the community are taught. At G.I.R.L.S, we believe that every girl is precious, with unique gifts and the potential to succeed, no matter what neighborhood she’s from or what challenges she may face.
G.I.R.L.S is unique for many reasons, but three primary features that set our program apart are:
1. Consistency: Girls face many challenges in their lives, from broken homes, crumbling neighborhoods to struggling in academics. But every girl in the G.I.R.L.S INTERACTIVE HUB (GIH) knows that once each week, she will gather in a safe space for a positive experience with her G.I.R.L.S sister, to learn Godly principles and values that will heal and make her whole to contribute positively to her community.
2. Intimacy: In a G.I.R.L.S Hub, girls learn to honestly express and examine the realities of their daily life for better or worse. They learn to trust and respect one another, and they develop the ability to hold confidences for their friends. They also learn to respect people who make up the community e.g. family, teachers, religious leaders, potential leaders and leaders, friends, colleagues.etc
3. Accountability: Girls learn to be accountable to their peers and to themselves for their actions, reactions, goals and results on a weekly basis. They learn that accountability is a foundational component for success in school, work and life.
We all face daunting social challenges and that is why an initiative like G.I.R.L.S proven to be effective, is so important to our community to prepare young female adults so that they are able to face these challenges through proper introduction of values and character building. Under the guidance of G.I.R.L.S Board of Directors, G.I.R.L.S has consistently grown to serve more girls. Of course, as a nonprofit organization, the financial support of individual donors is critical to our ability to continue. As you learn more about G.I.R.L.S, we invite you to join us in growing a new generation of women leaders by considering a tax deductible contribution to support our important work.
