The programs are being sponsored through the Executive Director and other Co-Directors and with support from Board members. She called on national and International organizations to chip in with support, and the government too to come in with support through the Ministry of Education and Gender. She point out that with support from the government she hope that these engagements  will improve the quality of female education above all the quality of education of Sierra Leone.

The UN Women’s representative at the conference Facial Lewalley gave contributions towards the empowerment of the young girls, and called on all parties to put hands on deck in supporting the empowerment of the girls.

She cautioned the parents to always make sure that their children take advantage of the opportunity. She said this is not the time for you to continue giving market to your child to sell, send the child into early marriage, engage her too much into domestic work among others instead of them giving more attention to schooling.
