Join us or catch up on events all around girls' education and women's leadership in Africa
Our leaders and experts regularly participate in webinars, conferences and conversations to discuss the barriers’ to girls’ education in sub-Saharan Africa, and the holistic solutions that can change the status quo for girls and their communities for good.
We’re grateful to all the partners and champions that ask us to join panel discussions, and to all the curious who log in to learn, share their own experiences, and become champions and change makers in their own right.
Here’s what’s coming up, and what you can still watch:
