We @TheAR_Trust believes we must move beyond words to action. Invest in girls, stand up for their rights, and ensure that NO GIRL IS LEFT BEHIND!
Together, through collaboration and complementarity, we can build a brighter future for our girls, our nation, and Africa.
Today is the International Day of the Girl Child with this year’s theme being “End Child Marriage & Invest in Girls’ Right.” This is not just a call to awareness, it is a call to action in the very spaces where decisions are made.
This weekend, we did just that. From the Meeting of the Panel of Experts convened by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), we contributed to shaping continental guidelines on the Right to Sanitation with a specific focus on women and girls. Ensuring that as Africa builds its frameworks, the girl child is not an afterthought but the centrepiece.
To the sidelines of the World Health Summit, where our team facilitated the Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights (SRHR) Financing Dialogue, surfacing African exemplars in domestic health financing and building a constituency of institutions committed to protecting SRHR investments at the African Union level.
The rights of the African girl child will not be secured by declarations alone. They require financing, policy coherence, and sustained advocacy from those willing to show up again and again in every room that matters.
African Renaissance Trust remains committed to being that presence.

Yes @TheAR_Trust there must be COMPLEMENTARITY IN ACTION! Empowering the girl child is a shared responsibility. When families, schools, communities, governments, and development partners combine their strengths and resources, we create lasting change.

Let us keep girls in school, protect their rights, eliminate harmful practices, and create opportunities for them to learn, lead, and succeed.
When we educate a girl, we educate a nation. When we empower a girl, we strengthen a generation!
As we celebrates the Inter Day of the Girl Child FAWECAM reaffirms its unwavering commitment to empowering, educating, & equipping every girl to realise her full potential and become an active contributor to national development and Africa’s transformation. @FAWEAfrica @FAWEZim

Prof. @BeatriceOpeolu giving closing remarks at #WLHE2026.We agreed: Equity must be measured by trajectories, not just access.
Access → Participation → Completion → Capability → Opportunity → Influence → Impact. @_AfricanUnion @AU_WGYD @AUC31 @UIL @UNITAR @TheAR_Trust
At WLHE Summit I stressed Across Africa,we need to move from a culture of saying,The student dropped out,” to asking, What happened to d student & what did the institution do when we saw the warning signs?”
Accountability therefore needs to be visible, measurable & distributed.
At the #WLHE2026 we agreed:Educ must be measured by transformation,not qualification.A degree, certificate, publication or promotion is an output.The deeper measure is what people are now able to do,become & contribute because of d educational experience. @AUC31 @BeatriceOpeolu
Leadership is about what becomes possible because you are there.
The question is not only “What have I achieved?” but “Who has grown, gained confidence, gained opportunity or found their voice because of my leadership?” @_AfricanUnion @TheAR_Trust

Daddy's cutie princess. The Joys of fatherhood. May God envelope her in His presence and cause His face to shine on her.
TVET is a powerful pathway to youth empowerment, entrepreneurship & job creation—fully aligned with the @_AfricanUnion’s vision for a skilled & self-reliant Africa. Kudos to all Vocational Training Centre investing in practical skills. Skills create opportunities! #TVET @AUC31
The @indomitableLionesses—what a performance! Cameroon defeated Malawi 3–0 today in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, with Marie Ngah Manga scoring twice & Naomi Eto scoring once.
And yes—the thing that stands out is not only the score but d organization, movement & passing
When we are overwhelmed & the storms of life come;When the road becomes uncertain & our strength begins to fail, the Shepherd is still there.
Our responsibility is to remain in the secret place of the Most High, where we are covered under d shadow of His wings. @AUChristianNews
