  the voices of the girls to keep them in the spotlight, inspire girls globally and drive action on girls’ issues by the global community.

  

  WE ADVOCATE

  at the international, national and local level for policy and system changes that give girls access to a high quality education at a community level.

  

  WE INVEST

  in community centered scalable solutions that provide quality education with potential for systems level change by empowering local leaders and educators.

• Who We Support
