Remikat Napoleon Binkap Bali Foundation, founded by the daughter of Senator Napoleon Binkap Bali, has awarded scholarships to a number of brilliant but underprivileged girls in Langtang North – a gesture widely hailed as hope for girl-child education in Langtang North and a powerful step towards curbing the rising wave of girl-child trafficking from the Tarok nation to other cities and Ghana.
The initiative, which drew education stakeholders, parents, and community leaders, seeks to promote equal access to quality education while empowering young girls to pursue their dreams.
Trill Times News gathers that the scholarship scheme covers tuition and learning materials for selected beneficiaries drawn from various schools within the local government, thereby removing one of the major triggers of child exploitation – poverty and lack of opportunity.
Speaking during the presentation, the Langtang North Education Secretary, Mrs. Jacob Tabitha Wazhi, commended the Foundation for what she described as a “heartwarming and impactful contribution to humanity.” “This initiative is a blessing to our community,” Mrs. Wazhi said.
“Education remains the strongest tool for national growth, and I’m proud to see a young person championing the cause of the girl child. I encourage the beneficiaries to study hard and make this opportunity count. Beyond that, I see it as a practical solution to ending the painful trend of our girls being trafficked out of Tarok land in search of greener pastures.”
Trill Times News gathers that the gesture aligns with the Foundation’s broader mission to nurture potential and eliminate financial barriers that often keep young girls from achieving academic success.
The Founder, Miss Remikat Napoleon Binkap Bali, told Trill Times News that the scholarships were inspired by her conviction and that of her parents that every girl deserves a fair chance to learn and thrive, regardless of background or circumstance.
“I’ve always believed that empowering one girl can transform an entire family and, by extension, a community,” Miss Bali said.
“Education is not just about books – it’s about giving young girls the confidence to dream, to lead, and to create change. If we can educate our girls, we will close the doors to child labour, exploitation, and trafficking. That’s what this Foundation stands for.”
Trill Times News also interacted with one of the beneficiaries, who could not hide her excitement and gratitude
“This scholarship means everything to me,” she said, smiling. “It has lifted a huge burden off my parents, and I promise to make the most of it. I’m grateful to Miss Remikat Napoleon Binkap Bali and the Foundation for believing in us. I want to grow up to help others the same way she’s helping us.”
Parents and community leaders at the event lauded the Foundation’s foresight, describing the scholarships as a laudable panacea to the embarrassing rate of girl-child trafficking that has brought pain and shame to many families in Tarok land. Many called for more partnerships between private foundations and government agencies to sustain such life-changing interventions.
The event climaxed with words of encouragement and prayers for the Foundation’s continued success, which, in the words of one parent, “will forever remain a shining example of purposeful leadership, compassion, and social responsibility – proving that when a girl is educated, a whole community rises.”
