GIRL CHILDS EMPOWERMENT

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

When a child is born, a dream is born. Children come with various gifts for their lives, their parents, community and the world. However due to various social, cultural and economic factors not all children manage to arrive at the desired destinations.

Some Children mostly girls are challenged and negatively affected by family relations, media, teachers environment around them etc. resulting to be out of their dreams.This project is therefore aiming to discover Girls Childrens dreams and how they can possibly be supported to realize their full potential.
