One of the schools that has Girl Power Clubs programme steadily running, Albert Ekirapa Secondary School, received a brand new computer. The new computer is meant to boost Girl Power's mentorship programme in the school. It was donated by Girl Power Clubs supporters Ronald Pothuizen and Tessa Van Der Heiden, as well founder Dr. Liz Odera.
Girl Power Clubs Africa is a leadership program that provides teenage
girls with a chance to learn life skills and learn to make decisions that
affect their lives and their communities positively. Ushindi Boys Clubs on the other hand is a men's leadership programme that initiates teenage boys through various stages of growth into young men.
