Mission Statement
GGRF invests in girls who use running and education to empower themselves and their communities in Ethiopia.
About This Cause
GGRF is the only non-profit organization in Ethiopia using the national sport of running as an innovative approach to creating safe spaces, ending child marriage and expanding access to secondary school for vulnerable girls. GGRF provides Athletic Scholarships for girls in primary and secondary school with the following objectives: _ The creation of a safe space like this running team reduces girls’ sense of isolation and increases their self-esteem and capacity to assert their right to choose when to marry. - GGRF’s implementation of the life skills program co-developed by the Center for Creative Leadership, USAID and GGRF delivers crucial information to the girls through experiential learning modules on community service, leadership, creative expression, healthy relationships, HIV/AIDS, reproductive health and financial literacy. - Education scholarships eliminate any financial restraints the girl and her family may face in keeping her enrolled in secondary school. - The savings group and entrepeneurship training for the mothers of the GGRF Athletic Scholars provides access to greater financial security and resiliency for the whole family.
