Potential needs
a pathway.
Barriers to education, economic opportunity, technology and leadership can leave women and girls without the information, skills and networks they need to shape their futures. These barriers look different across communities and at different stages of life.
As technology changes how people learn and work, access to practical skills, mentorship and rights education matters. We seek to help girls prepare for the future, support women’s economic and professional agency, and bring relevant opportunities to underserved communities.

From access
