OUR TESTIMONIALS
Madam Quinter
"What AGE is doing in our school is nothing short of incredible. The girls have become more vocal, more aware of their rights, and they’re more determined to stay in school. It’s clear they’ve gained not just knowledge, but also a sense of self-worth. I’ve seen shy girls transform into confident leaders, and I truly believe AGE is shaping a brighter future for them.
Mama Euphine
"As a mother, you always want the best for your children, but sometimes, you need help to guide them. AGE has been that help for me and my daughter. They’ve opened her eyes to her potential and given her the confidence to chase her dreams. Seeing her grow into a strong young woman fills me with so much pride. I’m so thankful for the difference they’ve made in her life."

Teddy
From a Community Member: "I’ve seen the impact of AGE’s work up close, and it’s truly inspiring. The girls in our community are finding their voices, and it’s all because of the support and education AGE provides. These girls are now role models for others, showing them what’s possible when you believe in yourself and your future. AGE is doing something powerful here, and our community is stronger because of it."
Pheobe
"AGE has been like a second home to me. Before joining Safe Club sessions, I was shy and unsure of myself. Now, I feel empowered to speak up for my rights and make choices about my future. They’ve taught me that I am capable of so much more than I ever imagined. I’m proud of the person I’m becoming, thanks to AGE."
