"I’ve been reflecting on Raila Odinga, and one thing stands out to me: his remarkable spirit of resilience. What I admire most is how, time and again, he has chosen peace over power. That’s a rare kind of leadership — one rooted in the greater good rather than personal gain.
“I didn’t know or have a personal connection with Charlie Kirk, yet his assassination leaves me feeling troubled. No matter our beliefs, violence is not the solution. My condolences to his family and everyone affected.”
In #SouthSudan,GESS tackles economic hurdles in girls' #education with cash transfers,reducing the financial strain on families & enabling girls' schooling.This does not only boosts individual earnings by 10% & GDP by 0.37% but also enhances self-worth & determination among girls
Achieving #GenderEquality in #SSudan is a long road ahead.With women's #education at just 19.1%,we must prioritize learning to bridge the gap.Misconceptions about gender roles &limited governmental support hinder progress.Educating decisionmakers & improving monitoring is crucial
The economic challenges have led to the shutdown of many local businesses. We urge the ministry to advocate for tax exemptions for women in local businesses to prevent further closures. We're also looking to development partners for support in this advocacy

I believe in empowering grassroots women with health education, teaching them to combat common diseases, and ensuring their children's education. Empowerment starts with knowledge. #WomenEmpowerment#IWD2024#GRF#InvestInWomen#InspireInclusion
Starting #GenderEquality at home sets the stage for broader change. We must educate & advocate within our homes and institutions. We're seeing progress, building step by step, and pushing for inclusion in national budgets & policy. #GRF#IWD2024#EmpowerWomen
My journey wasn't easy, but I stood strong, drawing on the resilience and knowledge I gained. This experience reaffirmed my belief in empowering grassroots women with health education, teaching them to combat common diseases, and ensuring their children's education #GRF#IWD2024
