A Year of Impact: How We Built Girls’ Power Together Across the Globe

As we approach a new year, we’re looking back at all we accomplished in 2024 with the support of our community.

Our 2024 in a snapshot: building girls’ power in Nairobi, convening practitioners in Uganda, amplifying voices in Liberia, launching the Girls First Institute, and witnessing girls speak truth to power at the UN. 

From local communities to global stages, these moments remind us of the unstoppable force of girls and their mentors—and the power we have when we work together as a movement to ensure girls have more agency in their lives.
