We pride ourselves on being the charity for girl’s equality, but our commitment to girls is never to the exclusion of boys.
Not only do our programs work with boys and girls, providing access to services that support them through emergencies, conflicts, poverty, violence, abuse, or exploitation – our programs also challenge gender norms and stereotypes so that everyone is able to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential, regardless of their gender.
