Empowering young girls to make positive choices and lead

Jana Foundation visited a primary school to engage pupils in a session on responsible choices, preventing teenage pregnancy and developing leadership skills. Pupils were encouraged to protect their future and understand the risks of early sexual activity, and to say no to pressure that could affect their education.

A major focus was leadership: we encouraged the girls to see themselves as future leaders, to speak up, take responsibility and contribute positively to their schools and communities — reminding them that today's circumstances don't have to determine tomorrow's.

"Protect your future. Stay in school. Believe in yourself. Make positive choices. Speak up. And dare to lead."
