We ensure girls have access to the opportunities to reach her greatest potential, ON and OFF the field.
When families are faced with challenges of poverty, the idea of their children receiving a proper education is often set aside in order to provide what is needed at home. Education can be replaced with labor and the HOPES & DREAMS of young girls go with it. This not only impacts the girl, it impacts generations before and after her.
We are emphasizing the value of education, providing supplies, and remove the financial burdens from families that keep girls from attending + completing school.

EDUCATION TRANSFORMS LIVES
THE GENERATIONAL IMPACT
Our immediate goals are to see girls complete High School and attend University. We take it one step further. Our vision is seeing our Ambassadors not only graduate from college but to have the confidence and skill sets required to have a career. Gaining the financial independence that comes with that is the key to breaking generational poverty.
IT'S A LONG GAME
Children of educated women are more likely to stay focused on education.*
Working women invest 80-90% of their earnings to their family's health and education. Her counterparts, globally, invest approx. 35%.*
When women thrive they invest back into their communities, becoming agents of change empowering other women around them to do the same.

According to the OECD Gender Equality in Education, Employment, and Entrepreneurship. Final Report to the MCM
"In developing countries, poor families may not be able to afford to send all their children to school and boys may come first when deciding which child to keep in education. Certainly when primary schooling is made free, girls’ attendance rises. But it is not just a question of school fees, there are items such as uniforms and school meal costs too – support in these areas can help get girls into schooling and keep them there through secondary education.
Some countries have also raised school attendance of girls through programmes that give a financial reward to families for sending girls to school. Prolonged schooling also cuts down on early marriage. And education is the gift that keeps on giving – mothers who have had schooling place higher value on education for their own daughters."
