Our "soft launch" of our Feminist Leadership Conference series happens this Thursday, beginning with an in-house session. Through this series which will soon be open to the greater community, we will workshop the principles of Feminist Leadership, share herstories of Feminist Leaders, and forge action plans together founded on compassion, courage, and responsible and transparent use of power. In times like these where male dominated leadership is failing the world, we need to envision and embolden more beautiful futures! Check out our slide deck for a sneak peek here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10BPIAd23atRKk-CZqkx5_4Ue5SF0-fEi/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113503766904373235414&rtpof=true&sd=true

When we show up to teach, we are also building a community that is selfless enough to look out for one another. This is our motivation for community service!!
These sessions are more than just lessons, they are seeds for healthier, and wiser communities.

Yesterday a few of our team members had a privilege of being invited by one of our partner schools Misamfu Secondary School for a Youth Day celebration. It was truly a wonderful and inspiring experience.

The event was more than just a Youth Day gathering. It also featured a beauty pageant where young girls confidently showcased their style, talents, and diverse cultural backgrounds. It was encouraging to see how proud they were to represent their cultures and confidently express themselves before a crowd.

What stood out the most was the confidence these young beautiful girls displayed. This was a reflection of the knowledge acquired through the GLOWBFC Life Skills clubs and how they are shaping young lives- preparing them to stand boldly in front of others and share their voices.

Moments like these remind us how important it is to support youth programs in schools. We believe that when young people are given the right platforms, guidance, and opportunities, they grow into confident individuals who are ready to contribute positively to society.
It was truly a colorful celebration of youth, culture, confidence, and potential. Happy youth week to all the youths out there!

Today on International Women’s Day we marched loudly demanding and end to terrifying rates of sexual violence against women and girls in our community. While we celebrate all the progress made towards gender equity, we acknowledge how far we still have to go to ensure that our communities are protected and that all voices are heard. We say ‘SILENT NO MORE!’

Inspired by our Coordinator's recent exchange visit with Special Hope Network we hosted a training today with caregivers from the Place of Happiness. We are working hard to empower them to work more closely with each child's unique ability- helping them build strength, flexibility, and a sense of accomplishment through what Special Hope calls "Transformational Care." Thank you Special Hope Network for offering our organization the opportunity to learn from your important work.

Last week, we hosted a successful Drama Competition with our GLOWBFC clubs from six schools.
The purpose of the competition was to assess how much knowledge our students have acquired from the Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) curriculum which was introduced to them last year. What we witnessed was powerful creativity, exceptional talent, confidence, and the honest realities young people face in their various communities.

Each school presented a unique aspect of SRH, highlighting the real challenges surrounding access to information, HIV/AIDS, stigma, peer pressure, early pregnancies, early marriage and decision-making. Through their performances, our students demonstrated not just understanding, but deep reflection and courage to speak out. This experience reminded us that drama is more than performance, it is education in action. It brings learning to life in a practical and relatable way, allowing young people to engage, express, and lead conversations that matter freely. We are sincerely grateful for the continued support of AmplifyChange AmplifyChange and all our key stakeholders who believe in empowering young people with accurate information and safe spaces to learn and grow.

Together, we can break the barriers surrounding SRH and build informed, confident, and responsible leaders for tomorrow. TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT SRH!!



Looks great!
