Glory Missionary Girls Centre project was started in 2012 by a religious leader in partnership with Wiga community-based organization. She visited Suna area in 2012 with a mission to develop a community hospital. She, however, got touched to learn that about 70% of the expectant young mothers who sought for medication were aged between 16 to 25 years (a school going age). She then put the hospital project programs on hold, but instead mobilized the community to establish a Girls Centre. Through this, she realized the Suna community would be enlightened enough to prevent the rampant social ills against the girls. The unhealthy cultural practices include she wanted to solve include female circumcision (FGM), early and forced marriages, and sexual harassment such as rape. The school is now run by a local religious leader.
