October 7th: Invest in Girls’ Leadership and Power

Two International organizations -The Congregation of Our Lady of Charity and the Istituto Internazionale Maria Ausiliatrice (IIMA) Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco are co-sponsoring IDG Sponsorship Day October 7 ‘Investing in Girls’ Leadership and Power.’ As organizers our mission is that of ‘Investing in Girls’ Leadership and Power’ from the local area to the conference rooms of the United Nations. This is not a new mission but one that has been evolving over years of ministry shaped by the realization that today’s girls understand the issues impacting them, having both agency and voice to advocate for the realization of their own rights and the rights of mother earth. ‘Girls rights are human rights.’ The realization of these rights enhances not just girls themselves, but the global community and is a catapult for change for the wellbeing of people and planet.
