At the empowerment seminar attended by over 100 participants, various topics were at the front burner including Girl Child Rights, career coaching, Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH), Pre-menstrual syndrome, and building self-confidence as a woman.

Some of the girls suggested that parents should be involved in counseling too because they contribute to the psychological growth and well-being of the female child. 

Chairman of the occasion, Dr. Asuquo Anwana, applauded the Foundation for putting their resources together to build the capacity for young girls, leading them to the right direction in life.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Board of Trustee of the Foundation, Engr. Bassey Nsentip who is father of the Twins, stated that it was his daughters who inspired him to make sacrifices for the future of the new generation.
