Our work
Build. Connect. Prepare.
Our work sits under three pillars. A girl or young woman usually starts in Build, earns and grows through Connect, and gives back through Prepare. In every programme, she is helped to make choices that fit her own values and goals.
Developing the capabilities of young women through creative livelihood education.
Promoting collective power and economic inclusion for women.
Nurturing creative confidence in children and adolescents.
