Schoolgirls receiving sanitary and educational materials

Spreading radiance

Over 10,000 young women mentored and inspired to pursue careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).

Keeping girls confident and in class

We mentor young girls and teach them practical ways to excel academically. Most of the girls we mentor earn good grades in their examinations.

Alongside mentorship, we deliver sanitary towels, mathematical sets, and stationery to Junior High schools across Ghana.

A fight against teenage pregnancy

We teach girls about personal hygiene while emphasizing their education. In schools that once recorded several cases, only one remained after our visits.

We aim to completely eliminate teen pregnancy in Junior High schools.

Creativity for Behavioural Change

In 50 schools, we teach young people to channel their energy into creative skills such as animation, design, photography, and programming.

Creativity builds healthy hobbies, protects mental health, and opens careers in a creative economy worth over $2 trillion a year.

Beyond the classroom, we build for whole communities.

Clean water for the Gavor community

One of our goals is to provide clean water for the Gavor community in Ghana's Central Region by digging a borehole. Without clean water nearby, girls suffer most. Hours spent fetching water are hours taken from school.

Empowering 10,000 women

Our campaign trains women in practical skills, guides them toward careers in STEAM, and provides scholarships for brilliant but underprivileged girls. Empowering 10,000 women means empowering 10,000 families.
