Why I’m passionate about mentoring girls in secondary school –Amalu - Punch Newspapers

Amaka Amalu, Founder, Project LEAD, speaks to GODFREY GEORGE about her passion for promoting girl-child education, among other thingsProject LEAD is all about leadership. We believe in early intervention, addressing concerns in our youths while they are still in their formative years.

Your organisation, Project LEAD, is organising a conference to mark the Intertional Day of the Girl Child. What do you hope to achieve? The International Day of the Girl Child is a globally celebrated day, a day set aside to amplify the voices and rights of girls and raise awareness about the obstacles that girls all over the world face and to also celebrate and reinforce their achievements. Our conference is lending a voice to this cause and we are bringing people together to have this very important conversation around our theme for the year, ‘Education for Entrepreneurship’.

We want to expose girls to real and compelling stories of these business owners, the challenges they have faced in deciding to go the route of passion, the skills they employed, the opportunities they saw and how they maximised them. All this is in a bid to teach and provide mentorship for these girls.

In addition, I would like to encourage educationists and policymakers to make a conscious effort to incorporate leadership lessons into the curriculum and ensure that our young ones begin to understand what leadership really means so they can be built into well-rounded and grounded individuals and truly become the leaders of tomorrow.

What kind of mentoring?
