MEP 2026

April 28, 2026

Skills and trade training are at the heart of our mentorship and empowerment program for girls transitioning from high school into the marketplace. Through hands-on learning and guidance from seasoned leaders, participants are gaining practical skills in communication, computer literacy, financial management, detergent making, beauty therapy, baking, cooking, and hospitality service.

A special highlight has been watching girls take their first steps from learning how to make products such as homemade detergents to confidently selling them. For many, this becomes a defining moment, where they begin to see themselves not just as learners, but as creators and emerging entrepreneurs.

Beyond training, this program is equipping them for real-world opportunities including employment, entrepreneurship, and internships, opening doors to financial independence and long-term career growth.

The program is currently running through May, and we look forward to celebrating all 154 participants as they graduate and step boldly into their next chapter.

This is more than training it’s transformation.

We are deeply grateful to our partners for making this life-changing journey possible.
