If you know any young woman doing outstanding things, encourage her to apply for the Empowering Women Series Connecting Girls Search on
Introduction/Background
The Empowering Women Series is a unique initiative targeted at young ladies between the ages of 12 and 30 with the aim of bringing them a practical message of hope, while providing them with guidelines and applicable principles that can set them on the path to becoming role models in our society. The Empowering Women Series is a project championed by En-Reach Limited, a women’s lifestyle organisation that has set its self apart as a provider of products and services that offer enrichment for the female populace across Nigeria.

Objective

With the underlying message that ‘you can be all you want to be’, The Empowering Women Series will identify and celebrate young, dynamic and outstanding women within the ages of 12 and 24 who are already on the path to greatness; but can benefit greatly from the success story of an inspiring woman who has already walked the path they hope to, connect with and draw inspiration from her.
       
So, in addition, the series will select and showcase a role model (referred to as the focal person) and document their story in an easy to understand manner, to ignite the passion in young women and cause them to break through surrounding limitations and become the best they can be.

Empowering Women Series and International Women’s Day 2012

For the maiden edition of this initiative, En-Reach Limited has aligned with a global celebration which further strenghtens the project focus and reason for which it champions The Empowering Women Series.

Every year, since the early 1900’s, International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated around the world on March 8 with events which take place not just on that day but through the month of March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. For 2012, the theme of the IWD is ‘Connecting Girls, Inspiring Futures’.

In line with the above, the Empowering Women Series 2012 will be held in the month of March with two main components based on the theme ‘Connecting Girls, InspiringFutures’.
