Education. Microfinance. Fellowships. Mentoring programs. Girls to School uses these tools to give girls and their families in West Africa new opportunities to thrive.
Our Mission:
1) To alleviate poverty and support economic development through programs empowering women
2) To educate those in the US and other developed countries about the role of girls’ education in alleviating global poverty and improving gender equity
How We Work:
We work in partnership with non-governmental organizations in West Africa. We look for organizations that take a holistic approach to creating access to education for low-income girls.
It is not enough to simply create schools or provide tuition. Oftentimes girls do not have adequate food or clothing. Rarely have other members of their families completed an education and can provide help with their school work. Instead, the girls are expected to help their family’s work.
If we are to provide low-income, at risk girls with a foundation for long-term success, all of these obstacles must be addressed.
