GirlPrenuer Campaign/Outreach

Update posted by Gail Maluga

Raising innovative GirlPrenuers

When I was 13 years old, doing grade 6, my mom and dad separated and my mom had to raise us up alone without any support from my dad including financial support so it wasn't easy for her. I then decided to ask my teacher at school to help me start up my own business of selling sweets and she did, with weeks of selling I went from selling only sweet to selling chips, biscuits and many nice things kids love. I enjoyed making profit and bringing it home to my mom and amazingly the little money I made helped alot. I was happy that I could assist my mom who used to sell milk. Today I'm a business mentor and i mentor young girls to prepare them to be independent women who will not have the mindset that many other women has which is to depend on a men but rather who will be innovative and think outside the box and create their own wealth. In 2017 I registered a non profit call "Girl with a Purpose" and we do alot of things especially community outreach and charity events. One of the programs we do is called "GirlPrenuer" which is about entrepreneurship, to help assist young girls how to start their businesses and how to balance their school work without it ing affected. On the 9th of March we will be opening a new wing (branch) in vaal and we planning to do a community event in order to introduce this program and we need funds to hire a tent as the areas is new and doesn't have a community hall or centre yet, chairs, buy refreshments, buy water and others necessities and do competition to help others start up their own business. And soon We will be launching in Ghana. Going forward our plan is to do these "GirlPrenuer" seminars/campaigns around the country to help and reach to to young people who desire to contribute to the economy of the country and not only thaf but who wants to make a difference in other people's lives. We Raising innovative GirlPrenuers. Your support will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Below is our website.
