OUR PAST PROJECTS
The sustainable goals that LCI is assiduously advancing are:
Goal 4 – Quality Education
Goal 5 – GenderEquality
Goal 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth
“Everyone wins when children – and especially girls – have access to education. An educated girl is likely to increase her personal earning potential and prepare herself for a productive and fulfilling life, as well as reduce poverty in the whole community. Investing in girls’ education also helps delay early marriage and parenthood. Our booming economies in Africa need more female engineers, teachers and doctors to prosper and sustain growth”.
Angelique Kidjo, activist, singer and songwriter.
“We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important”.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists.
