Through your investment, The Girl Power Project® is helping thousands of girls build their own self esteem and knowledge, thereby removing the barriers to their continued education.
That means they know the importance of staying in school and are gaining the knowledge they need to live an empowered life. Here are just some of the proven outcomes that your investment creates for a girl once she completes the two-year in-depth program:
The lives of each girl we serve have been palpably transformed and entire communities are changing as a result of improved attitudes and beliefs about the value of the “girl child".
None of this would have been possible without support from people like you.
When the lives of girls are better, all of our lives are better. If a girl stays in school, she'll know how to better take care of her children, she'll be more financially independent, and more likely to become a leader in her world.
Imagine multiplying that effect on the 62 million girls around the world who are not in school. The impact benefits us all.
While we celebrate the incredible transformation we're seeing in the girls we serve, every day we are approached by new communities who want us to work in their schools. But because of lack of funding, many times we have to turn them away.
Our dream is to reach the 1,000,000 adolescent girls that live in the district where JLMC works in central Uganda. We can't do it alone. We need your help to keep going.
