Female Empowerment Program

We offer drop in sessions (Thursday pm) and 1 day  Alternative Education placements (Friday 10am - 2pm) for girls aged 13 to 16.

As young girls are growing up it is important for them to develop the right attitude and thoughts towards themselves. The wrong attitude can have a lasting impact on their lives as they are growing from teenagers to adults. How a young girl feels about herself is so important because negative thoughts often lead to low self-esteem.

This programme is designed to meet specific needs of young girls. Recent demographic research carried out highlights the significant need for this as it is clear that issues of relationships, mental health, body image, self esteem and domestic violence has become more prevalent. The activities in place aim to raise self esteem, confidence, improve relationships and allow the girls to gain a greater knowledge of the support networks available to them.
