The girls foundation is a project set up to enlighten young ladies of their 
norms and value, advocate for the girl-child, encourage and support them 
with the little we can.
We believe the girl-child can bring about change in our society. Women are 
essential to the nation because they take care of its children, the children 
are the future leaders of the nation, if you are familiar with the bible you 
must have heard of this verse “train up a child in the way he should go and 
when he is old he won‟t depart from it”.
Girls foundation was founded by a group of selfless ladies, it is a non￾governmental organization an d believes in decentralization.

#### VISION:-
* To enlighten youths of their purpose in life. We believe once you 
know the truth and purpose of your existence you are free, the 
journey to success and failure now lies in your hands.
* Rape free society- Rape is a sexual assault carried out against a 
person forcefully. The rate at which girls are being raped these days 
is alarming, we are also humans and we deserve respect. Most rape 
victims suffer from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, serious 
injuries and in some cases pregnancy and sexually transmitted 
infection.
* Fight against domestic violence- it is also known as intimate partner 
violence, domestic abuse or family violence ; it's a form of violence 
committed in a domestic or family setting, such as in marriage or 
cohabitation. It is called intimate partner violence when committed by 
spouse and called family violence when it involves the kids, parents 
or elders. Domestic violence has several effects on human that's is why girls foundation is picking it up. Effects of domestic violence 
includes :
1.) Physical effect: This involves bruises round the victim, broken 
wrists, shortness of breath etc.
2.) Mental effect: This involves PTSD (post-traumatic stress), 
pressing, drug abuse, suicidal thoughts etc.
3.) Emotional effect: This involves feeling unworthy, hopeless and not 
motivated etc.
4.) It affects the development of the kids and they suffer from 
depression, anxiety, fear etc
Domestic violence always produces an international cycles of 
violence. Funny, only few people see themselves as being abused; 
considering it as family matter.
* Girl education: Some people still believe that training a female child is 
a waste of time and money 'cause they feel she'd still end up in the 
kitchen, well sorry to disappoint you but ladies can do much more 
than just being house wives, lots of educated women are doing fine in 
our society today. Every child deserves equal right to education.
We don't think anyone should be treated differently because of their 
gender, we are all one and it's high time we realized that.

#### CONCLUSION:-
The primary aim of the girls foundation is to enlighten girls and increase 
the awareness of the steem blockchain and steemit. Giving girls the ability 
to create wealth with their writing skills, without waiting for the government 
intervention.
