The Problem
Our Solution
Our holistic empowerment program is designed to empower marginalized adolescent girls and enable them to have a more productive future, helping them take control of their physical and mental health, complete their secondary education, avoid child marriage, and acquire useful skills for future employment.
Adolescent girls are the most vulnerable and marginalized group on the planet today. Globally, 1 in 3 girls will experience gender-based violence. + 32 million adolescent girls globally are out of school: 2 to 3 times more than boys. Every year, 12 million girls are forced into child marriage. Millions more face period poverty, forcing them to drop out of school, limiting their futures, and silencing their potential.
