Millennium Fellowship Project: Rescue the Girl Child
Improper education of the girl-child and women characterize low self-esteem, lack of
confidence, insecurity and national development. The reasons for girl-child and women
education as well as empowerment for sustainable health and development is aimed to
be investigated. Critical issues in girl-child education such as access to education, drop
out from school by female child and quality of education experience endanger
the girl-child or women. Educating and empowering of female children and women coupled with proffered solutions such as
building of good mentoring as. well as networking groups, sponsorships and proper
training would also improve emotional, economic, mental, physical, political, religion and
social experiences. Thus, yielding a healthy nation, high quality leadership, reduced rate
of dependence and increased nation’s work force for sustainable development.
Rescue The Girl Child project seeks to empower teenage girls and women in
Gulu City and schools within the city through learning, development actions and
engaging them through various skills programs that will engage, empower and
transform them to be bold for positive change.
