We envision a world where Black girls from all socio-economic backgrounds and cultures believe in themselves, have access to quality education and fiercely pursue opportunities that allow them to fulfill their limitless potential. Our work, though customized to cater to the girls in the regions that we serve, reflect our vision tried and true.
AFRO GIRLS LEAD
52 million girls across Africa are not getting the proper education that they deserve. Here's how we are changing this narrative.
LIMITLESS POTENTIAL
Our initiatives and projects currently build community and provide access to quality education for girls across Africa and the United States. Afro Girls began as a youth development project and grew into a space for girls to fulfill their limitless potential in 2018. Since 2011, we've impacted over 500 girls.
Our efforts aim to provide the necessary resources to ensure wholistic, inclusive, relevant and effective learning outcomes for our girls.
Effective action is at the core of the work that we do. We recognize the organizations creating impact and promote these skills within our girls.
We work to increase young women’s representation and participation in results-driven decision-making processes.
Our enrichment activities foster mentorship, spark creative thinking, entrepreneurship and
problem-solving skills.
2020 VIRTUAL SUMMER CAMP
We're gearing up for our 2020 Virtual Summer Camp in July. The week long camp will serve girls, ages 5-17, in different groups, through engaging virtual activities and discussions.
-
Financial Literacy
-
Media Literacy & Representation
-
Social Entrepreneurship
-
Leadership and Confidence
-
STEAM
-
Healthy Living.
We realize that not every girl will have access to the internet during this time, You can sponsor a girl to attend the camp or donate towards our summer partner organizations supporting girls in a number of ways in remote areas.
COMING SOON!
We want to offer this program to girls at no cost. Once we get the resources to do so for all girls, camp will be in session!
