Empowerment: 1000 girls for training, mentorship in C/River

Church Girl Production has selected about 1,000 young Cross River State women for assorted training, skills acquisition and mentorship.

The Executive Director of the group, Mrs Gedah Etefia during a briefing recently in Calabar, announced a fashion week designed to identify specific talents in girls and make them focus.

She said the exercise will empower, correct and educate girls through mentorship, skills acquisition, among other platforms.

Ashe said, “It is because of situations like these that they have designed programmes that will identify different African girls, train them, mentor them and give them a platform to maximise their potentials without compromising standards or losing their faith.”

The session is also to ensure the girls become who they have always dreamed of and then still have their faith in God.

She said as part of the training, a Church Week Fashion Program tagged “Pure and UltraGlam” will be staged in October and will be the first of its kind targeted at bringing out the best of the African Girl.

The fashion week will showcase glamour and decency and make the Church Girl realize that being conservative does not mean dressing drably.

Worried about the attention given to girls she said: “The major challenge facing the girls is the lack of growth and mentorship. Most of the challenges the girl child faces is the absence of mentorship particularly for the girl who grew up in church,” Etefia noted.
