Who we are
Why empowering girls matters
​
Girls are marginalised by culture, tradition and systems which pose so many challenges, obstacles, hindrances and boundaries to them living their dreams and full potential.
​
In Tanzania…
• 73 percent of girls who start primary school finish. 30 percent of girls finish lower secondary school (o-level). 6 percent of girls finish upper secondary school (a-level)
• More than one-third of girls are married by the time they are 18
• Girls from poor families are twice as likely to be married early than girls from wealthier homes
When you empower a girl…
• She takes control of her life, makes good decisions, and nothing can stop her.
• She will unleash her potential and will become a great leader leading her life, family, community and the world to a better place
• socially and economically.
When a girl stays in school and graduates...
• she is less likely to marry early
• more likely to be in a healthy relationship
• has fewer and healthier children
We believe all youth can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
