EmPOWER Girls: Emergency Response and Resilience Planning

Today is the International Day of the Girl-Child! And the theme for this year is "EmPOWER Girls: Emergency Response and Resilience Planning".

How true that we as individuals and as a nation must give all it takes to protect our girls! We must treat them with utmost care and respond swiftly to issues of their safety and wellness.
As families, communities and nation, we must show resilience and total committment in planning for thier future. And we must empower them with education and life skills that will make them excel in their choice career, in marriage and in nation building.

 Let's unite to give them a Voice! Let's assure them that they Matter! They are our Daughters! They are our Assets! They are our Joy; our Pride! They are our Future!
