“My project will quickly mobilize all that will be needed to ameliorate the condition or situation that such person or persons may be facing.
“The women project will largely focus on women and the girl-child, but this does not in any way mean that the boy-child will be left out, no, only that the girls are more disadvantaged, I know what it feels like having passed through such stages.
” we will, within the resources available look for ways through which one we can empower women even by approaching other organization that are within, to embrace the initiative.
” this is aimed at ensuring that once the mothers are empowered, the issue of street hawking by the girl-child will be highly minimized and the women will be encouraged to send their children to school.
