Our STORY
Miriam became a teenage single mother and a school dropped out. Her mother was unable to give her the basic tool for an equitable life (education) due to the poor farm yield and lack of financial wit. When we met Miriam, she expressed fear over her only daughter who was four years old but yet to be enrolled in school.
‘As a teenage single mother, I am exposed to domestic violence from my children’s father because I do not have a source of income and my farm is not producing enough crops. I fear that my daughter will not have access to education’.
Amina is one of the girls we helped secure her education, she is currently enrolled in a private school where she receives quality education, financial support and monitoring from our team.
Our Values
Accountability
We are accountable first and foremost to our clients – vulnerable girls and young women. All our systems and processes put this principle into action in order to secure and reinforce girls’ rights and entitlements, and it underpins our partnerships at every level.
Urgency
We can say that the Sustainable Development Goals are achieved when girls have gained acces to quality education and are not passive members of the society. With a sense of urgency we act to enroll underserved girls into school, trigerring widespread change through direct action, with demonstrable results.
Transparency
Our financial systems maintain the highest levels of transparency and accountability. Communities, as our ‘shareholders,’ make decisions on resource allocation with representatives from all stakeholder groups, and directly ensure that all clients receive their entitlements.
Partnerships
We build strong, but apolitical, partnerships with government ministries. We initiate innovative partnerships between communities, government, likeminded organizations and the private sector to maximize the resources available to tackle the challenges which young people face.
Child Protection and Safeguarding
Child protection is a non-negotiable, central tenet of our work. We hold information on every girl we support, tracking her welfare and engaging with all those who hold authority in relation to girls in order to mitigate girls’ vulnerability to any form of abuse.
