NGO Launches Platform to Help Girls Build Confidence, Self Discovery

With the overarching goal of helping girls to build identity and purpose, an NGO, The Revival School, in collaboration with Unclesele and Nitche Entertainment, has launched a platform, Little Miss Rainbow, in pursuit of this noble goal.

After a keenly contested exercise, Ms Vanessa Edetemerged as the Little Miss Rainbow 2023, to the applause of attendees at the well-attended event, which had as Judges Mr. Ben Aguoye, a business tycoon; Winfrey Agbelese, host of Wake Up Nigeria on TVC; and Izehi Anuge, a Values Coach and founder of Shape-A-Child NGO.

The event, themed ‘Embracing the Essence of Womanhood,’ aims at redressing the stereotyping of women in which they are gradually losing their identity.

“Little Miss Rainbow is a pageant that would help solidify your daughter’s identity by giving her a platform to safely express herself, build confidence and give her an opportunity to be a voice for her generation,” said Preere Opuofoni, Convener of Little Miss Rainbow at the launch of the platform in Lagos on Friday, August 25, 2023.

“Changing this narrative, in a colourful and convincing manner, is something to be imbued in women from childhood. This underlines the launch of the Little Miss Rainbow platform,” Opuofoni added.

Like a famous epistle depicted: “A woman personifies ageless beauty, selfless love, purity, grace and dignity. She symbolizes virtue, great inner strength, tremendous patience, resilience and fortitude.

“She is the pillar of strength not only to her family but also to the society and the country as a whole. women are the backbone of a nation’s economy.”
