Our ACHIEVEMENTS Since 2006

Through our Compassion Fund, we mentor and empower women and girls to increase their participation in economic development and governance in their communities. We are paying school fees for girls in government secondary school whose parents cannot afford to; providing job placement, scholarship for out of school girls and skill acquisition trainings for economic stability. We also foster sisterhood engagement for these girls as it creates an avenue for them to trust each other and create a community of girls and women who support rather than fight each other. Dazzling Damsels of Virtue Foundation have been able to provide financial intervention and support to families and individuals for feeding and medical services. So far we have been able to reach Six thousand women and girls (6000) with our aid and services.

 

Our in-school leadership training, currently running in 5 secondary Schools in Enugu State is designed to provide an entire student army of Leaders who will be intellectually equipped and sufficiently motivated to take on the challenges of becoming the next generation of Nigeria’s Leaders.
