This week, we celebrated moms, teachers and nurses for their hard work, knowledge, and compassion. We appreciate you! We also offer special kudos to the GNWL #menstrualhealth educators in Burkina Faso, Mme. Sakande and Mme. Bonkoungou for their unwavering dedication. Your passion for teaching girls about their period has ignited the spark! We're breaking the taboos of period shame and starting conversations between mothers and daughters, and the boys and men in their lives. GNWL can't thank you enough for your sacrifice. We look forward to celebrating #MenstrualHygieneDay with you on the 28th!

We are heartly BRAZLE by the generosity of https://lnkd.in/eQeUvmys for gifting us with #bras for our underserved middle and high school girls in Burkina Faso. Thank you Dana https://lnkd.in/eRS73V_a for starting this sisterhood, and Sara and Nadine for coordinating donations. Our upcoming hygiene kits are complete because of your kind gesture! 😍

We might not speak the same language as English is not one of the spoken languages in Burkina Faso, (Our official language is French), but you can tell by the way these 4th & and 5th grade girls said, “Thank You”, you can tell by the giggles, you can tell by the claps, you can tell by the smiles that those 76 girls meant it, and I also say THANK YOU! 🙏 Bienvenue Konsimbo Girl Now Woman Later (CEO)   Nous ne parlons peut-être pas la même langue puisque l'anglais n'est pas une langue parlée au Burkina Faso, (notre langue officielle est le français), mais vous pouvez le deviner par la façon dont ces élèves de 4ème et 5ème ont dit « Merci », vous pouvez le deviner par leurs rires, leurs applaudissements, leurs sourires, montrant que ces 76 filles le pensaient vraiment, et moi-même je dis aussi MERCI! 🙏 Bienvenue Konsimbo Girl Now Woman Later (CEO)  

"Each day your life grows shorter. Make every move count." —Deng Ming-Dao An active day for our girls at the I Wonder Menstrual Education Workshop, December 2023. We were fortunate to get to have this class which had been originally scheduled for #InternationalGirlsDay but postponed due to school administrative delays. _________ « Chaque jour, votre vie devient plus courte. Faites que chaque mouvement compte »- Deng Ming-Dao Une journée active pour nos filles lors de l'atelier I Wonder Menstrual Education, décembre 2023. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir ce cours qui était initialement prévu pour la #JournéeInternationaledesFilles mais reporté en raison de retards administratifs à l'école. #menstrualhealtheducation #BurkinaFaso #FootballAfrica #GirlsFootball #InternationalDayOfTheGirl #girlnowwomanlater #filledaujourdhuifemmededemain

Through our Champions of Change campaign, GNWL is celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth2024. We’re reminding girls in #Africa that even if they haven’t heard of African female leaders or activists, they exist. There are past/present female activists and advocates who deserve our respect. Women are still fighting to bring changes for equal rights, fair education, and for all females to have a seat at the table. Every day should be a celebration of the countless women and men who have shed tears, sweat, and blood to bring a change to the African continent. They remind us that silence is not an OPTION! Then: The Unbowed Dr. Wangari Muta Maathai, a Kenyan social, environmentalist, and political activist, became the first African female to win a #NobelPrize. She was quieted by her government because she wanted her country to participate in fair elections. Dr. Maathai then created the #GreenBelt Movement, an organization that leads the way for fair elections, sustainable development, democracy, and the advancement of women’s rights. We will remember her work best with the quote, “We all need to work hard to make a difference in our neighborhoods, regions, and countries, and in the world as a whole.” Now: Vanessa Nakate is Africa's young climate activist leader from Uganda. As an advocate for clean energy, she held the Glasgow Climate Pact /COP 26 accountable for the global greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuels impact on the least developed countries. Through Nakate’s organization, #RiseUpMovement Africa and #FridaysForFuture chapter in Uganda, Nakate reminds us that #globalwarming has begun and the African youth movement will not stay silent or be erased. #Trailblazer #WangariMaathai #VanessaNakate #activist #africanfemaleleader #prodemocracy #unbowed #noterase #girlnowwomanlater Photo credit 1 : Photograph: Martin Godwin/Guardian Photo credit 2: Vanessa Nakate speaks at the Youth4Climate Pre-COP26 Event in Milan on Sept. 28.
