The Girls Support Center Empowerment Project not only focuses on education, health, and economic empowerment, but also prepares young women to take up leadership roles in government and cultural institutions. By equipping girls with skills in leadership, advocacy, and governance, the project builds a new generation of female leaders who can challenge stereotypes, participate in decision-making, and drive policy changes in their communities.

Through mentorship, training, and advocacy, the project ensures that girls are not just beneficiaries but also leaders shaping the future — from local councils and district structures to cultural leadership positions. This approach empowers girls to stand against gender inequality, inspire others, and contribute meaningfully to political, cultural, and social development.
