Girl Child Network celebrates 10th anniversary
Girl Child Network
March 21, 2009

Girl Child Network (GCN) turns 10 years on 21 March 2009, and in this regard, girls, GCN staff, stakeholders and friends in Zimbabwe are all looking back and reflecting on this noble path travelled. All of us are busy preparing for the official commemoration of GCN's 10th Anniversary scheduled for 28 March 2009. A summarised informative document regarding GCN's work and the commemoration will be issued soon by GCN's Communications and Development Office, which will also include the program of the day.

As we joyfully celebrate this, we all reflect and cherish the great and amazing work for tens of thousands of girls in Zimbabwe by GCN as a community based, developmental non-governmental organisation registered in Zimbabwe, and the visionary and passionate work of Betty Hazviperi Makoni, the Founding Executive Director for GCN, who has also emotionally and successfully fought for and defended girls and women's rights over the past decade.

Accordingly and befittingly, girls, all children, women, GCN funding partners, stakeholders and friends the world over, are sincerely invited and called upon to join in these all-important celebrations which significantly mark a decade of girls' emancipation in Zimbabwe. For GCN, the decade's motto has been, 'For the Girl Child, the Sky is the limit!' Indeed, the sky has been the only limit as thousands of girls have been empowered by GCN's strategic empowerment programs and now walk in the fullness of their potential as future women achievers and leaders.
