#InternationalLiteracyDay2024 Today, the International Literacy Day, Girls Education Mission International shines a spotlight on the power of girls' literacy. When girls are educated, entire communities thrive. Literacy equips them with the tools to break the cycle of poverty, challenge inequality, and unlock their full potential.Yet, millions of girls are still denied the chance to learn due to poverty, discrimination, and cultural barriers. On this day, let’s commit to removing these obstacles and ensuring that every girl has the opportunity to gain an education, read, write, and grow into a leader of tomorrow. By investing in girls' literacy, we invest in a more just, equal, and prosperous world for all. Let’s work together to make this a reality! Visit https://lnkd.in/djxW-sMz to take action.

Yesterday 5th September, at our GEM's hub we hosted 45 girls for another Mentorship session as part of our #IamPossible Girls Lifeskills Mentorship and Leadership program. The program had in attendance Director of Special Programs Hajiya Zainab Zakari from Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board and 3 other Staff of the PSUBEB. The Mentorship sessions which are being facilitated by one of the GEM founding girls Mrs. Itswell Ya'u who is currently the Program Manager of GEM is focused on equipping girls with various Lifeskills, Leadership and Entrepreneurship skills that will enable the girls to thrive in school and beyond. The girls shared their life changing experiences after the last session and also showcased the marketable skills learned and various small business they are able to venture into. The girls are being Mentored to serve as role models to other girls as they become peer mentors and advocates for Girls Education in their various schools and communities. The girls who completed Junior Secondary School Exams with support of GEM are now awaiting their results to be admitted into Senior Secondary School. Girls Education Mission International on a mission to Educate and Empower girls is committed to journey with the girls to ensure they are provided with relevant skills, tools, resources and experiences they need to reach full potential. One key highlight of the program was also a distribution of free sanitary pad to the girls which is a key factor to girls' school attendance and hygiene. #GirlsEducationNowOrNever #Iam_Possible https://lnkd.in/djxW-sMz

We are thrilled to have the YALI Network Plateau named our Executive Director Keturah Shammah "Most Active Volunteer of the Hub".

Shammah a YALI Network member of Plateau State hub is a 2018 fellow of the YALI Regional Leadership Center West Africa, Accra. In 2017, she was recognized as a "YALI Human Rights Champion" for standing up for human rights in her community and as a YALI "Africa4Her Champion". Shammah is currently the Communications Director of the YALI RLC Alumni Nigeria North Central Region. Before her role as communications Director, She served as 2023 Deputy Programs Director of the North Central Region and a 2023 Interim Director of Programs for the YALI Network Plateau hub. Established in 2010, Young African Leadership Initiative commonly known as YALI is the United States signature effort to invest in the next generation of African Leaders. It is geared towards developing leadership and entrepreneurship skills and connecting participants with their peers and with the American People. We at Girls Education Mission International are not surprised with this recognition having known our Boss as a selfless leader who is always willing and available to volunteer unconditionally for service to humanity. Shammah will always say "What is Youthful without YALI " a statement that reaffirms her commitment to YALI and youth development.
