BECAUSE GIRLS CAN.
“Invest in girls. Nothing is more powerful than a girl who has access to her rights, education, health, and a voice in her community.”
— Malala Yousafzai
To empower rural adolescent girls and young women in Malawi with the social, economic, and health skills they need to thrive, so they can lead, earn, heal, and transform their communities.
We envision a future where adolescent girls are not just seen or heard, but respected, supported, and celebrated as leaders and changemakers in their homes, schools, workplaces, and communities.
Through education and mentorship programs, we support girls in continuing their learning and braving the challenges of adolescence with guidance and care.
Our work is deeply rooted in values that reflect respect, compassion, and justice for every girl we serve. We believe in the inherent dignity of every adolescent girl and are committed to empowering her with the confidence and skills she needs to lead a self-reliant life.
Our Belief
A girl with a voice, is by definition, a strong girl.
We believe every girl, no matter where she’s born, deserves the chance to grow into her full potential. Through mentorship, education, and opportunity, we walk alongside girls as they build futures defined not by circumstance, but by choice..
When you invest in a girl, you’re not only changing her life. You’re lighting a fire that will warm an entire community

Girls face many challenges
Poverty: leaves girls hungry, makes men take advantage of girls, increases the rate of girls dropping out of school, increases the number of unwanted pregnancies,deprives girls of basic needs and leaves them worthless.
Harmful Culture and traditions: Leaves girls voiceless, strips them of their dignity and power, lowers their self esteem and confidence. Stereo types, gender inequality, gender discrimination, and gender violence all have their roots in culture and tradition. FGM leaves girls bleeding externally and internally creating difficulty and scars that may never be healed for a lifetime.
Forced marriage and child dowry: Deprives girls of their childhood, makes them believe that they were only born to be mothers, wives and that their office is in the kitchen.
