What we do!
Our Programs
Our programmes respond to the interconnected challenges girls face. We combine mentorship, education, skills, wellbeing, economic empowerment and community action to help girls move from potential to opportunity.
Go Girls Mentorship Programme
Go Girls is a girls' mentorship programme designed to strengthen adolescent girls' agency, confidence and leadership. The programme uses a girl-centred curriculum built around four areas: Self-Beliefs, Environmental Beliefs, Self-Governance and Leadership Beliefs. Through regular sessions, group activities, role modelling, drama, role play and community dialogue, girls develop practical skills for navigating their lives and making informed choices. Target: girls in primary school and other eligible adolescent girls in participating communities.
Girl Power Skills Centre
The Girl Power Skills Centre provides practical vocational and entrepreneurship opportunities for girls and young women.
- Tailoring and fashion design
- Bakery and food production
- Liquid soap making
- Entrepreneurship and income-generation skills
- Other emerging vocational and livelihood opportunities
Menstrual Health
We support girls with menstrual health information, practical menstrual hygiene solutions and safe conversations about menstruation. Activities have included menstrual health sessions, period diaries, educational materials, reusable pads and school/community pad banks.
Sauti Ya Dada
Sauti Ya Dada means 'The Girls' Voice.' The programme creates a safe space for girls to build sisterhood, self-care, confidence, leadership and the ability to speak up on issues affecting their lives and education. The programme also incorporates environmental action, enabling girls to identify community challenges and develop practical responses. Girls have used creative approaches including art, drama, community engagement and school-based environmental activities.

Girls & Environmental Action
We support girls to become environmental leaders through sustainable agriculture, environmental education, community action and girls-led initiatives. Activities may include kitchen gardening, vegetable growing, conservation awareness, composting and community campaigns.
Education & Scholarships
We support vulnerable girls to remain in school through scholarships, mentorship, menstrual health support and community engagement. Our education work recognises that school fees are only one part of the challenge. Girls also need encouragement, safe spaces, supportive adults and practical support to remain engaged in education.
Girls' Wellbeing & Community Engagement
Through music, dance, drama, sports and community dialogue, we create spaces to address issues affecting girls and young people, including mental wellbeing, violence, relationships, reproductive health and other community concerns. These activities help make difficult conversations accessible and encourage girls and communities to identify solutions together.
