Girls Education Girls GO
School is a space in which girls exercise their agency, make their voice heard, and access their first leadership opportunities. As a result of gender inequality in education, they are also denied the chance to develop skills that will help them take charge in their homes, careers, communities and countries.
We aim to provide millions of girls across Africa with safe, quality, gender-transformative education so they may find their voices and learn to lead.
We support girls to stay in education by making a friendly space for girls. We support schools in having gender friendly toilets and provide if necessary bicycles to girls who are living very far from school. we also endeavour working with teachers to provide an environment whereby girls can feel free to discuss their difficulties without fear of being reprimanded This means working to ensure free and equal access to quality, safe education for all girls, including in areas affected by gender based violence. We make sure that we will work with other stakeholders to combat these man made emergencies. We focus our efforts on equality, inclusion and diversity. Our programmes don’t just work in classrooms with teachers, but also include communities, governments, religious leaders, family members and children in order to bring an end to gender inequality in education.
We work with schools and teachers to help make our programmes promotes gender equality – so that girls understand they have the right to fully realize their potential and are equally deserving of the skills required to succeed.

Community
We are dedicated to ending hunger and poverty in rural Africa.
More than 250 million people in Africa, farmers and their families, suffer hunger and malnutrition, struggling in extreme rural poverty without enough food; left behind by rising economic growth.

Women produce up to 70% of the food grown on small farms in Africa.
More than half of farmers in Africa are women. In spite of this, African Women receive just a fraction of the support available to men. As a result, their farms can be 20-40% less productive. We are working to educate men to be involved in the involvement of small

414 million people across sub-Saharan Africa live on less than $1.25-a-day.
This extreme poverty is concentrated in rural areas, where subsistence farming keeps people in poverty, working poor-quality land, unable to sell at market, and growing barely enough to eat. We will work with farmers and link them to the markets
