#IWANT2BE 2017

One Girl Can’s purpose is to alleviate poverty and promote gender equality for girls in sub-Saharan Africa.Without targeted interventions, the cultural and financial obstacles that prevent girls from accessing education will continue to trap them in a vicious cycle of generational poverty. Our innovative approach is based on three operating principles that perpetuate a cycle of sustainability and empowerment:WE BUILD and rehabilitate existing girls’ schools to create safe and enriching learning environments.WE EDUCATE by providing scholarships for students with the greatest need and potential at secondary school and university levels.WE MENTOR every student through workshops that teach goal setting, confidence building, strategic thinking and career planning. We Build. We Educate. We Mentor.

Come and hear CEO and Founder, Lotte Davis, talk about her life-long mission to eradicate poverty and promote gender equality in some of the most disadvantaged areas in Africa. See why empowering girls through education is essential to this mission, and how One Girl Can is changing lives in incredible ways. 
Last year we raised over $200,000 to build dormitories and washroom facilities in a girls’ school in Kenya and provide scholarships for girls in high school. This year we need your help to build and equip 2 science labs in an effort to promote essential learning in the notoriously male-dominated fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics! STEM education has been directly linked to economic growth and it is estimated that 80% of jobs created in the next decade will require some form of STEM skills. Theory training in science and technology is common practice in most African secondary schools, and students have little to show when it comes to practical application. One Girl Can wants to equip girls to succeed by giving them the level of hands-on experience that is required to enter the job market or pursue higher education in STEM subjects. <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVF1g8wg5gY" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Find out more about One Girl Can here</A>
