iGLOW achieves its
objectives through four core programs; Ambassadors’, Dreamweaver’s, Lions and
Legends.
The Ambassadors.
‘The
Ambassadors’ program offers opportunity for recent female university graduates
with a commitment to girl’s empowerment and community service the opportunity
to be mentors for girls in rural schools.
We recruit exceptional female college graduates from all backgrounds and career
interests who travel to rural schools and help form local girls empowerment
chapters within the schools. These chapters then become the avenue for
preparing young girls for future positions of personal, professional and
political leadership. In this way, as they lead, ‘The Ambassadors’ teach other
young girls in rural areas how to lead.
The Dreamweavers.
‘The
Dreamweavers’ program enriches the academic and leadership potential of current
female university students. Dreamweaver’s focuses on providing undergraduate
female students with programs, tools and experiences to enhance their
leadership and scholarship so that they can improve their lives and the lives
of others. The tools of enlightenment for the program include group initiated
community action projects, career development workshops and research geared
towards informing and stimulating the debate on social issues of critical
importance to women and their society.
As they weave their dream and aspirations into reality, Dreamweavers also
engage in mentoring and social advocacy projects that empower young girls in
primary and high school.
The Lions
‘The
Lions’ program prepares current high school rural girls to obtain success in their
professional and personal lives. Lions’ being bold and self-driven, direct
their own programs; plan and implement community action projects, choose their
own mentors, officials and activities. In addition to secondary school
completion, the program lays emphasis on training adolescent girls to advocate
for themselves and their communities.
The Legends
The
legends program is for rural girls in primary school and Kindergarten. It focuses on ensuring that
girls have a strong start that would enable then to become legendary women in
their lifetime. Apart from academic programs, the program focuses on building
library capacity of primary rural schools.
