Women’s and Girls’ Mindset Transformation

Ndah Promise Ngefor

My project area focused on the subtle component of mental transformation, even though it ostensibly and practically engaged in livelihood prospects. It took on women with a defeatist mentality caused by battering and humiliation.  So, raising their self-confidence and alerting them to revert to a positive mindset was the multifaceted target of the project.

The process is ongoing. Particularly, there are five women whose mindsets I am tracking and trying to boost. The impact is already being felt as the market-gardening women testify to being able to free themselves from violence at home, most of which was tagged to issues of finance. The women’s financial improvement has done the magic, giving them greater self-confidence along with their financial independence. This has kept them from making financial requests from their partners, which usually tended to start up verbal and even physical violence from their spouses.

It came to me as a discovery and a major opportunity for which I am most grateful to Nkumu Fed Fed and the opportunity to be part of the solution to the evil which is rocking my community. By allowing me to serve humanity in this domain, Nkumu Fed Fed gave me the platform and springboard from which to leverage and ride high. Thanks to this opportunity, the immediate feedback from my endeavours are pouring in from in and out of Bamenda on the impact of the initiative. I now have a series of links posted to me from diverse sources requesting me to apply and get into various community service programs. Most of them come with the assurance that I have an excellent chance of being selected, thanks to that singular initiative.
