For 13 years we’ve been teaching Girl Power Project® curriculum to girls, boys and the communities at large in over 90 regions in rural Uganda and have seen firsthand that educating girls is the solution to many of the issues our world faces today.
We’re excited to announce that the data scientifically proving the transformative impact of Girl Power Project® at the community level has been published in the Journal of Universality of Global Education Issues. We can now scientifically prove what we’ve known to be true all these years, Girl Power Project® transforms not just the lives of girls, but boys, teachers, parents, police, health care workers and the community at large!
“The stakeholders observed increased confidence in their communities, increased communication and confidence to communicate between parents and children in their communities, increase in attendance and a decrease in dropout rates, increased gender equality, and an overall increased capacity in their communities to respond to violence against girls.”

To say that 2020 was an interesting year would be an understatement. Yet through all the ups the lockdowns, the closures and the chaos, we were able to get some critical work done to protect adolescent girls with your support.
We are so grateful for you, our donors, as well as our outstanding team here in the USA and in Uganda who kept their focus on the work that we do - transforming the world, one girl at a time.
