Our PHILOSOPHY
Our AIM
To promote the rights of children especially girls and mobilize them for development and participation through Research and Education oriented programmes directed towards their empowerment.
Our VISION
To empower children and young females with accurate information and skills from a gender perspective for self-reliance and social action. This we believe will address issues of female molestation and violence against the female child.
Our Programme Strategies & Activities
The Gold Girls programme strategies and activities are directed at the 4 spheres of stages of influence on girls namely;
INDIVIDUAL LEVEL (empowering the girls as social change agents through increasing their self-esteem, knowledge, skills and self efficiency).
SOCIAL NETWORK LEVEL (at the level of their parents, other family members and peers to strengthen positive relationships among girls and immediate social relations to provide the necessary support for their actions).
COMMUNITY LEVEL (aimed at creating new and broader enabling environment and opportunities for girls’ action in challenging patriarchal values and discriminatory practices and beliefs that put girls at risk and to create awareness about the dynamism of culture to facilitate positive social changes towards gender justice).
INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL (focusing on social changes through activities and advocacy for policy changes that impact systematic practices and norms that affect girls and their communities).
