" I am passionate about seeing the potential of the girl-child unlocked because I believe there's gold embedded in her, which need to be birthed for the good of families, communities and nations. I'm optimistic that being a Millennium Fellow will equip me with the necessary skills and help me to better at what I'm passionate about. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Go-For-Gold
Project Go-For-Gold is an initiative that seeks to empower young girls between the ages of 12 and 18 who find themselves in marginalized communities to reach their fullest potential, and not settle for the less of themselves, for the ultimate benefit of the society. This project is in two-folds. The first aspect aims at re-orienting young girls who have been ridiculed by society to believe that a woman’s place is the kitchen, and a woman’s sole purpose on earth is childbirth, to believe in themselves, their potentials and ability to excel and become an asset to the world at large. This will be done through school outreaches, door-to-door campaigns and many others. The second aspect of this project will focus on empowering the girl child who has some level of commitment to being educated, to reach for gold and the high places, to the best of her ability. This will be done by providing mentorship sessions to help them with their journey to ‘becoming’ and also engage in supporting quality education through donation of educational materials from time- to-time.
