This season reminds us that hope is renewed, service is sacred, and together we are stronger.

*A Charge for 2026*

As we step into 2026, let us carry forward the lessons of this year: compassion in action, excellence in service, and courage to innovate. Let us:

- Deepen discipleship and nurture spiritual growth in every company.
- Expand outreach so more girls benefit from our programmes.
- Invest in leadership development so our officers and trainers are even better equipped.
- Sustain financial stewardship to ensure continuity and accountability.
- Celebrate sisterhood by mentoring, encouraging, and lifting one another.

We have proven what we can do when we work together. Now we must dream bigger, plan wisely, and serve with renewed zeal.

*Pledge and Blessing*

I pledge to continue to serve you in love and humility. I will lead with integrity, listen with compassion, and work tirelessly to advance our shared mission. May the peace of Christmas rest upon you and your families, and may God grant us strength, wisdom, and unity in the year ahead. I pray we achieve even more in 2026.

Happy International Day of the Girl Child, my dear sisters in Girls’ Brigade Nigeria, Imo State Council!

Today, under the banner of “The Girl I Am, the Change I Lead: Girls at the Frontline of Crisis,” we celebrate not just our potential but our courage to step up when the world needs us most. Each of you carries a spark of change within, and together those sparks create a blazing torch that lights the path forward for every girl in Imo State.

As the apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy 4:12:
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
Let these words guide our steps as we lift each other and our communities.

In the face of challenges—whether in our schools, communities, or homes—we’ve proven time and again that unity turns obstacles into opportunities. When we pool our talents and hearts, we:
- Launch outreach initiatives that protect and uplift vulnerable girls
- Create safe, welcoming spaces where every voice is heard
- Mentor one another to grow stronger, bolder, and more compassionate

Let’s lean into that sisterhood today by recommitting to our shared mission. Reach out, collaborate on that community project you’ve been dreaming about, and lift up the newest members who look to us for guidance. Your leadership matters—your ideas, your laughter, your courage pave the way for change.

Thank you for being the living proof that when girls lead, communities flourish. Here’s to celebrating who we are, and to forging the future we believe in—together.

In gratitude and solidarity,

✍🏾 Princess Chinyere Ukachukwu
Your State Commandant
Girls’ Brigade Nigeria, Imo State Council. ❤️

Join us this year as we strive to make another meaningful impact. Last year we distributed pads to over 500 female students in rural areas and educated them on the significance of good menstrual hygiene and a period-friendly world. Help us achieve this year's target by donating to support this initiative. One Girl one pad. For a period-friendly world.

Egbu 2025.
Be there.

Important Update:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, there has been a change in the venue for our training. We believe this is yet another sign that God is hearing our prayers and working in our favor.

To the Glory of God, the new training venue is now All Saints Cathedral, Egbu. This location is closer to town, very easy to locate, and, most importantly, we no longer have to worry about providing beddings.

The Lord Bishop of Egbu Anglican Diocese graciously approved this new venue, which is more central and convenient for everyone.

We look forward to an impactful and successful training at this new venue! Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Remain blessed.
