When a girl has a mentor, she gains confidence, voice, and hope. 💙 Through our mentorship programs, SOFERES is empowering girls with leadership skills, life skills, and protection knowledge — helping them stay in school and stand against GBV & early marriage. #GirlsMentorship

Engaging community & religious leaders in GBV prevention creates real impact. Their influence helps challenge harmful norms, promote accountability, and support survivors. At #SOFERES, we work closely with these leaders to build safer communities for women & girls.

🌟 SOFERES conducted a Mentor Orientation Training to strengthen GLOW mentors’ skills in creating safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces for girls. Mentors built confidence in facilitation, safeguarding, and girl-led leadership. This project is funded by @GlobalGirlsGLOW
