Virtual Event: Powerful Conversations to Empower Girls
At SaGG Foundation, we focus on placing girls in The Gambia on the path to success through education. We are a non-profit organisation that seeks to sustainably empower girls through education.
However, we are cognisant that the growth and development of girls should not be limited to the classroom. To complement academic growth, we aim for girls to develop holistically. It is with this, that we are hosting a virtual event with our girls themed ‘Powerful Conversations to Empower Girls’. As a girls’ education movement we have recognised that:
We want to explore the effects of the conversations that girls are exposed to from an early age, psychological, aspirational, for their dreams and goals. Also, ascertaining the importance for girls to be exposed to empowering conversations. The panellists will be made up of child psychologists, women empowerment champions, feminists, girls and women rights advocates, and businesswomen. We believe that girls should be exposed and surrounded by these powerful conversations:
It will be an honour to have you as one of our panellists. Your attendance will help women to understand the importance of elevating and uplifting the conversations when girls are around and involved.

It is with this, that we are hosting a virtual event with our girls themed ‘Powerful Conversations to Empower Girls’. As a girls’ education movement we have recognised that:
- The African context surrounding conversations with girls is more of becoming a homemaker, how to be a good wife, how to limit their ambition, how to endure in marriage, and, how to put up with abuse and violence.

- Confidence building conversations,
- Career and passion-driven conversations,
- Self-love and self-worth conversations,
- More than a wife and mother conversations.
