Why Dream Crazy Big?
"The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
The world is facing a lot of problems right now, right? Climate Change, Fundamentalism, Disease, Poverty, Population Growth, Mass Migration and more.
But ALL of the data suggests that one simple thing could change the world:
A Girl. Yes, a Girl. But how?
130 Million Girls Are Out of School -- a vast majority as a result of poverty, inability to manage menstruation, and the prevalence of harmful cultural norms, including gender-based violence all of which create obstacles to a girl continuing her education.
And that’s something we all can benefit from changing because if we keep a girl in school, she’ll have have healthier children who are more educated, she’ll make more money AND greatly impact climate change.
We have seen this first hand over 13 Years of Working with children and families in Uganda, to keep girls in school, avoid forced child marriage, violence and disease through our Girl Power Project®
Just Like My Child Foundation has developed a replicable model of girls empowerment, Girl Power Project, that has been scientifically proven to impact behavior of girls and communities that in turn removes the obstacles girls face in continuing their education.
And it’s our collective dream, to bring Girl Power Project® to the World.
Our vision is to empower one million adolescent girls and the communities in which they live. Join us!
Dream Crazy Big!
