"Girls rejoicing after the workshop "
The program "Girls Better After Quake" scaled up in 2017 by recruiting 18 adolescent girls. The group was a combination of girls from previous batch and new batch. The girls from first batch served as mentor for the second batch. The program in 2017 focused on building upon their skills received in 2016 to include decision making, leadership, advocacy,accountability skills. Girls were mentored to identify social issues, made aware of the local bodies working in their community and how they could assist them or make their voices heard. They are also demanding for greater participation of girls in social issues, with the local government.
