My Nonprofit Reviews

I am pleased to write a review of Girls Education Mission International. Having closely monitored the activities of this laudable non-profit NGO over the past five years and assisted in raising support for it, I can confidently vouch for the credibility and integrity of the project director, Mrs Keturah Shammah, with whom I have been conferring about their programs which include grassroots empowerment of less-privileged young girls and women, particularly in the areas of literacy and skills acquisition. She has been able to judiciously manage the financial and material resources entrusted to her for various projects. Prominent among these is the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurial Skills training held in Saminaka Lere local government capital in 2011. Thirty seven young women and girls were trained in various vocational skills and were awarded take-off grants. With the support of mentors who were assigned to monitor the progress of the trainees' business venture, the participants' income generation was enhanced, leading to a high demand for such trainings and other related programs both within and outside the country Nigeria. However, the project director is not able to respond to all requests and other needs of the organisation as well as the training of volunteer staff, due to unavailability of funds. Any assistance towards the elevation of this credible NGO will go a long way in improving the living standards of the marginalized rural female population in Nigeria, Africa and beyond. I therefore without reservation, highly recommend GEM International for donations and any other useful support.
