Who We Serve
A young girl in Sierra Leone struggles against vast challenges to stay in school and avoid early pregnancy and marriage. Her value as a human being, a professional, a decision maker and a potential leader is not valued. Our goal is to change this narrative.

“I grew up with a sense that anything and everything is possible! Quite simply, I believed I could lead. I want to foster that same confidence in other young girls.”
