Our Impact
EDUCATION IS AT THE CORE OF EVERYTHING WE DO
Because little girls with dreams become women with vision.
HOW DO WE DO THIS?
We provide access to quality education – in and out of the classroom!
It’s so important for girls to have the opportunity to finish secondary school – but we also know that getting girls in the classroom is just step one. To make sure they’re supported in all areas of their education, our Business Brains program provides girls with education and training in areas like career development and life skills!
0

0
partner schools currently run our Scholarships program.
0
young women received vocational skills training.
We promote health and menstrual hygiene and tackle period taboos.
We believe that no girl should be held back just because she gets her period! That’s why we ran a life-changing WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) program in Sierra Leone, which ensured
that girls could access toilets at school and aimed to improve behaviours and attitudes towards proper hygiene. And our LaunchPad program is making sure girls have access to affordable, hygienic sanitary products, is educating students and whole communities on menstrual hygiene management and WASH, and is dispelling damaging myths about menstruation and hygiene.

We support and inspire future female role models
In 2018, we launched the pilot of our teacher training scholarships! This new and exciting program is supporting teachers to become formally qualified. We’re working with the Sierra Leone Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to provide untrained teachers with full scholarships to complete their qualifications by distance education, PLUS they’re guaranteed paid employment with the Ministry after they graduate!
