Mission Statement

One Girl Can is focused on creating gender equality through education for girls living in extreme poverty in Africa.

About This Cause

Our mission is to empower girls through education to break the cycle of poverty and gender imbalance in sub-Saharan Africa. Our holistic business model supports a girl from the time she leaves primary school, until the day she gains meaningful employment. We Build - We have been building and rehabilitating existing schools for girls in rural Kenya and Uganda since 2008. We are committed to long-term partnerships that ensure the schools’ infrastructure will continue to support their growth and maintain safe and enriching learning environments. We Educate - We provide high school and university scholarships for girls with the greatest need and potential in sub-Saharan Africa. Our scholarship program started in 2013 with just 2 girls. By 2018 we’ve provided over 300 scholarships. Our goal is to reach 1000 by 2025. We Mentor - One Girl Can mentors all our university students, and every girl who attends a school we are involved in. We teach goal setting, confidence building, strategic thinking and career planning. This motivates, empowers and equips girls with the tools required to become successful.
