Girls Voices
The Adolescent Girls Project.
The project provides essential empowerment training for adolescent girls as a stepping stone to leadership. We encourage rural girls to stay and succeed in school, address girls’ health and well-being, and foster girls’ agency and confidence to help them pursue their dreams
OUR APPROACH
Girls Mentorship Clubs
In these clubs, girls have the opportunity to engage in various activities and workshops aimed at developing leadership qualities such as communication, teamwork, decision-making, and problem-solving. Through hands-on experiences and group projects, they learn to take initiative, advocate for themselves and others, and become agents of positive change in their communities.
Girls Soccer Teams
We strongly encourage adolescent girls to participate in sports activities within our community to challenge cultural norms. Girls' soccer teams promote gender equality by granting equal access to sports, empowering girls, fostering leadership skills, increasing the visibility of women's sports, advocating for equal treatment, promoting community engagement and social change, and paving the way for greater gender equality in sports and society.
Girls Education Sholarships
At Wounded Healers, we strongly believe that education can play a crucial role in preventing sexual abuse and re-victimization. That's why we have established a scholarship program that aims to provide educational opportunities to young women who are vulnerable to sexual violence.
The scholarship covers school fees, uniforms, textbooks, and other essential educational materials, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder the girls' ability to attend and thrive in school. Beneficiaries of the scholarship receive ongoing mentorship from experienced educators and mentors. This support helps them navigate academic challenges, build confidence, and develop life skills that are crucial for their personal and professional growth.
