Adolescent Girls Program

Our Comprehensive Curriculum

The program focuses on four key outcomes:

1. Gender equality and rights awareness: Helping girls understand their rights and challenge harmful cultural norms. 
2. Health and wellness: Including sexual and reproductive health education, an area where adolescent girls are often denied access. 
3. Financial literacy and vocational skills: Supporting girls to become economically independent through practical training in skills like entrepreneurship and trades. 
4. Safety and goal setting: Providing tools to build self-confidence and create future plans, ensuring they can lead lives of dignity and choice. 

The program equips girls with essential life skills, boosts their self-confidence, and prepares them for economic independence. 

A Rights-Based and Survivor-Centred Approach 

Recognizing the unique challenges of working with teen girls, we adopt a rights-based and survivor-centred approach. Our global safeguarding policies and specialized staff training ensure the safety of every girl in our program. We work with experts and adapt our strategies to local contexts, starting with our pilot program in Rwanda, to create lasting change in these young people’s lives.

“I’m proud of my progress and want to teach my daughter to dream big and persevere. From the shadows of solitude, I emerged, strengthened by support and fuelled by the promise of a brighter future.”
