Economic strengthening The FREE GIRLS CLUBS
GLS aims to help Girls and Young Women develop soft skills to enhance their employability, income generation, financial resilience, and economic empowerment. They are building an entrepreneurial movement advocating for their economic freedoms and rights against patriarchal structures, which hinder their attainment of positive educational and health outcomes, including financial independence.

GLS places great importance on assisting teenage mothers in their pursuit of dreams and education. However, this objective can only be realized if there is proper provision for child care.
“May our future be filled with happiness and may we strive to provide education to every girl. It is imperative that we do not leave any girl child behind, as educating them is crucial for empowering our nation.”

GLS Advocate
“As the present generation of women, we are witnessing the unprecedented impacts of climate change, and it is our duty to respond as we are the caretakers of our nation. The pressing nature of the climate emergency is clear, and despite the challenges we face, we still possess the chance to shift the balance in our favor”
