Relive some of our shared successes of 2024
Throughout 2024 we’ve faced significant challenges, including the economic impacts of global crises and climate shocks affecting our African communities. Despite these hurdles, we’ve worked together to keep hundreds of thousands of girls in school and support young women with the skills and opportunities they need to thrive after graduation, leading change for the next generation. Join us to reflect on and celebrate some of our shared successes.
You, our partners and donors, are allowing us to do more, better, faster, for the children who most need our support and encouragement. None of this would be possible without you.
