Girlsfoundation empowering women in agriculture

Hello everyone. I will really love to use this medium to thank everyone that has been supporting the girlsfoundation project "empowering women in agriculture".
The support of @fundition, @adollaraday, @pennsif, @surfyogi has gone a very long way in helping us achieve ⅓ of our goal in the project empowering women in agriculture but we still have a long way to go but by next week we will begin our second stage of the project.

About the stage one

Two weeks ago we visited the farm land in which we intend extending the good works of steemit.
We went to the farm land and the farm owner took us round the farm.
After which we told them what steemit is all about and what @girlsfoundation intend doing. They where really excited to know that people still had the farmers in Nigeria at heart.

We later visited the market to get farming tools, we also talked to the woman selling and introduced her to steemit. She was glad to hearing about steemit. She later arranged the tools for us and we paid for the tools, we also gave her extra tips from girlsfoundation.

Then we went back to the farm to distribute the tools to the farm, she really appreciate it and was very interested when we explained what steemit is all about and how much she could make from it.

About girls foundation

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 youths 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.
