  Today, we join the world in celebrating the International Day of the Girl Child —a day dedicated to recognizing the rights and unique challenges girls face around the globe. At SkillHer, this day resonates deeply with our mission of empowering women to unlock their potential through skills, education, and community. Every girl has the right to dream, thrive, and shape her future. Yet, in many places, girls still encounter barriers like gender inequality, lack of access to education, and economic limitations. That’s why platforms like SkillHer exist—to bridge these gaps by providing opportunities for learning, growth, and economic independence . We believe that when you empower a girl , you empower her family, her community, and the world. Through our programs, we’ve seen firsthand how upskilling women not only transforms lives but also contributes to a more equitable society. On this International Day of the Girl Child, SkillHer stands with all girls and women, committed to cre...

As we come together to celebrate the Independence Day of our great nation, it is important to reflect on how each of us can contribute to its continued growth and development. At SkillHer, we believe that the most powerful way to foster progress is through personal advancement, upskilling, and collective empowerment. This year, as we honor the achievements of our past, we must also look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
