We work with community leaders and local mentors to identify girls, often hard to locate, likely to be socially isolated or disadvantaged. Many live on less than $2 a day.
We serve adolescent girls from 12-18, and young women from 19-30.
As a girl in Benin, Angélique Kidjo witnessed first-hand some of her friends and peers forced into life decisions that went against their rights, their wellbeing, and their dreams. She realized that adolescence is a critical period of a woman's life, and that with strong social support and access to resources and opportunities, girls aim higher and achieve more.
