About the Organization

Girl Effect is an international non-profit that connects girls to the resources and support they need to overcome barriers, see themselves differently, and unleash their full potential. We believe that the most powerful force to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty is GIRLS. When you connect girls to what they need, unleash the limits communities set for them, and change how girls see themselves — they change the world. That’s the Girl Effect.
