Our Mandate
Our mandate comes from the girls themselves who by joining girls’ empowerment clubs signal their desire for GCN to lead the holistic empowerment of the girls. We act as a voice for vulnerable girl children through leadership training, confidence building, guidance and advice on education and career pathway, advocacy to legal access and child friendly laws and policies, community education on child abuse and the urgent need for eradication of harmful cultural practices that hinder the full physical and emotional growth of the girl child.
