We had 10 participants for this session with a average rating of 9.4/10.

We were grateful to have the Mayor of Royal Borough of Greenwich, Cllr Leo Fletcher and the deputy leader of Greenwich Council Averil Lekau as our special guest.

2022 Pictures - Girlz Empowered Programme in Nigeria

Through this work, we run a weekly forum for teenage girls to give them the opportunity to learn, grow and be mentored; and give them the training to improve their entrepreneurial skills and increase their chances in life. This year, our sessions included goal setting, confidence building, health & well-being talks, healthy relationships, vocational skill training (how to make soap, air-freshener and liquid detergent, tie & dye), study support & more. They also visited Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in September to encourage them to aim higher in their education
