OUR PROGRAMS
ADOLESCENT BOOT CAMP
The Adolescent Boot Camp (ABC) is one of Value Female Network’s flagship, high-impact interventions designed to equip adolescent girls—and now boys—with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to resist harmful practices, lead peer advocacy, and champion gender equality in their communities. Since 2017, ABC has become a nationally recognized model for adolescent empowerment and community-driven change.
SARC - SUCCOR CENTRE
In strategic collaboration with the Osun State Ministries of Health, Justice, and Women and Children Affairs, with the support of UNICEF, we have officially reopened and renamed the Sexual Assault Referral Center (SARC) at Asubiaro as the SUCCOUR Center. We successfully implemented a two-day capacity building program for frontline workers at the Center to strengthen survivor-centered care for victims of sexual assault.
VAPP LAW IMPLEMENTATION
We launched the first edition of its groundbreaking program “Beyond The Law,” a strategic initiative designed to advance the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Law in Osun State. The maiden edition took place from 26th to 28th November 2024, bringing together a powerful coalition of stakeholders committed to ending Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and promoting justice for survivors.
GENDER TRANSFORMATIVE POSITIVE PARENTING PROGRAM
In partnership with UNICEF, We have successfully implemented this Program which is a comprehensive initiative aimed at equipping parents across Osun State with the knowledge and skills to foster Positive Parenting in their households and communities. The program reached 1,200 parents across 30 communities in 5 Local Governments: Ife North, Osogbo, Ede North, Odo Otin, and Ilesha East.
CBO EMPOWERMENT AND SAFETY PROGRAM
CBO Empowerment and Safety Program 2025 is a transformative 5-day initiative designed to empower Master artisans in the non-formal sector with accurate information, practical life skills, and tools to protect themselves from harm. The participants included 50 master artisans across different Local Governments in each state. These master artisans are then expected to train 20 girls over the course of 3 Months.
GIRLS’ EMPOWERMENT AND SAFETY PROGRAM
The program was implemented across Osun, Oyo, and Ekiti States, reaching 150 adolescent girls directly and 2250 indirectly between the ages of 8 and 20, many of whom face increased vulnerabilities due to limited access to formal education and protective structures. The participants include 50 girls from each state who then in turn train 15 girls over the course of 3 Months. Hence, Girls’ Empowerment and Safety Programs is a peer-to-peer step down training.
BOYS ANTI-FGM & POSITIVE MASCULINITY PROGRAM
Strong boys are not defined by muscles, they’re defined by how they treat others. This is a program that brings together boys and young men to build their capacity as advocates against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). FGM is a serious public health challenge and a violation of girls’ human rights. We are committed to build a new generation of boys who protect, respect, and uplift girls.
INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FGM
This is an annual event where we discuss the concept of Female Genital mutilation and it’s consequences in girls and women’s lives, a call to identify and transform social and gender norms that support FGM, also to highlight the importance of partnering with men and boys to transform social and gender norms in delivering the global promise to end FGM by 2030, drafting action points for men to take in the advocacy against FGM.

What people are saying about our work
Below are Success Stories received by those that have benefited from our range of programs.
Before the Adolescent boot camp, I was the girl who stayed quiet so I wouldn’t be noticed. At home and in school, I learned that silence kept me safe. When I first arrived at the camp, I barely made eye contact. During one session, we were asked to talk about boundaries and self-worth. My heart was racing, but I raised my hand. No one laughed. No one shut me down. They listened. That moment changed me. I went back home knowing my voice mattered. Today, I speak confidently in class and even help younger girls find their voices too.
Aisha Age - 12, Ede, Osun State NIgeria
I grew up believing that adults never listen to young people. At the boot camp, facilitators treated us with respect and genuinely cared about our opinions. That experience gave me confidence. I now participate actively in discussions and school programs. I feel like my ideas matter.
Adenike Age - 16, Odo Otin, Osun State Nigeria
The boot camp taught me about online safety in a way no one ever had before. I learned how to protect myself and make smart decisions online. After the program, I became more cautious and confident in my digital interactions. I now educate my friends about staying safe too.
Jeleelat Age 11, Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria
Growing up, no one ever explained why FGM was wrong. It was just “how things are.” This BOYS ANTI-FGM & POSITIVE MASCULINITY PROGRAM. gave me facts, clarity, and confidence. When the topic came up at home, I explained the dangers calmly and respectfully. That conversation mattered
Alexander Age 15, Ile Ogbo, Osun State, NIgeria
Before this BOYS ANTI-FGM & POSITIVE MASCULINITY PROGRAM, I believed issues like FGM were “women’s matters.” I thought my role as a boy was to stay out of it. During the training, I learned that silence is not neutrality, it is permission. Hearing real stories of girls affected by FGM shook me deeply. I realized that my voice matters. On the second day of the program, when a relative suggested cutting a newborn girl, I spoke up. It was uncomfortable, but I didn’t back down. That child was spared. For the first time, I understood what positive masculinity truly means.
