We are an independently governed faith-based partnership building a community where all girls and women live in safety, have the education needed to earn a living wage, and the opportunities to build a secure future. We believe in the power of girls’ education, the potential of girls and the possibility of transformation. Education empowers girls to exercise their agency, make their voice heard, and access their first leadership opportunities. Our transformative services are trauma-informed, holistic, integrated and sustainable.
We help clients girls reach their potential by alleviating challenges such as low self esteem, early pregnancies, child labor, gender based violence and child marriages
We work to remove barriers within schools and the community to educating girls such as cultural practices and norms, school infrastructure and teacher approaches.
We lobby and advocate for changes in policies integral to equitable access to quality education of girls such as school re-entry after pregnancy, resource allocation, prevention of gender-based violence etc.
