“Love on Me” is a comprehensive programme focused on various aspects of empowerment, providing participants with the tools and confidence they need to navigate their teenage years and beyond. The sessions will cover a wide range of topics including self-esteem, mental health and body positivity. Each day will bring a new presenter, from motivational speakers and health professionals to successful women from throughout our communities, ensuring that the girls receive diverse perspectives and expertise. You can rest assured that this program is designed to cover all aspects of empowerment, leaving no stone unturned in your daughters’ growth and development.

One of the highlights of the “Love on Me” session is the inclusion of interactive sessions, where participants will engage in activities designed to build confidence and foster a sense of community. These hands-on experiences encourage teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking, helping the girls discover their unique strengths and abilities. By the end of the two days, each participant will be equipped with the tools to continue their journey of self-empowerment and growth.
