Help Hope For Girls by donating uniform for the girls that we support.
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
HOPE for Girls @ VISA focuses on supporting the girls who choose to say NO to FGM through secondary school and university so that they can transition from primary to secondary and from secondary to university. The selection of girls happens during the rescue and mentorship program that takes place every year where needy and bright girls who have completed primary school are enrolled to the scholarship program. So far, we have provided scholarships to 110 to transition from primary to secondary school and 18 girls to transition to university. 8 girls have graduated and giving back in the community demonstrating that educating leads to an empowered girl who is able to make a positive contribution to the community. They serve as a beacon of hope and role models for the rest of the girls.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
