ICN highlights the power of education for the orphaned girls it supports on United Nations International Day of the Girl Child
This year’s theme for International Day of the Girl is ‘Girls’ vision for the future,’ conveying the need for urgent action and persistent hope, driven by the power of girls’ voices and their vision for the future. ICN’s Girl Child Education Fund (GCEF) was set up in 2005 to support access to education for the orphaned daughters of nurses in developing countries. In line with today’s theme, we invited some of the girls whose schooling is being supported by the GCEF to depict their hopes for the future. The girl’s pictures, some of which can be seen below, demonstrate their zest for life and their hopes for a better future for the whole world. ICN Project Lead for the GCEF Aleksandra Kamilindi said: “Our objective, as always, is to emphasize the role and value of the girls’ education, supported by GCEF, in turning their dreams into reality. By showcasing the girls' artwork we are hoping to raise awareness of the programme and encourage support for girls’ education everywhere.”
