In commemoration of the International Day of the Girl Child.
In-Person — St. Louis Grammar school, Mokola, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. and Virtual – Online event
Theme: Empowering Girls for the Future.
Day One of #WOMENtoringGIRLS was an in-person mentoring session, where Mrs Adefemi Bucknor-Arigbede- Mentor and (Director, American Corner Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria) spoke on Career Development at the #WOMENtoringGIRLS event. She told the girls they can achieve anything they desire. She admonished them to study hard because there are a lot of scholarship opportunities for girls particularly in science and other fields but they need to have good grades to qualify.
She also told them to be sisters to one another, helping each other through life. She said there is a need for more females in politics because if the Nigerian president was female, things won’t be this hard as females are more empathetic. She also promised to collaborate with African ChangeMakers Women Network (ACWN) and the hostel mistress of St. Louis on how the girls can be taken on an excursion to International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) to have a feel of what Agriculture career is like.
Day Two of #WOMENtoringGIRLS was a virtual mentoring session across the many Africa countries. It was power-packed with lots of women Mentors talking on different topics specifically crafted for a girl-child knowledge-based and empowerment.
