Girl Hub's mission is to empower the 250 million adolescent girls living in poverty to reach their full potential. We believe that girls are a proven force for change and the catalyst to end global poverty.
When you improve girls' lives through education, health, safety and economic opportunity, these changes have a positive ripple effect on their families, communities and nations. Our work aims to shift the social norms that hold girls back, and drive better investments that directly benefit girls.
To achieve this, we focus on unlocking insights. Everything we do is built on what girls tell us they need and what they tell us will work for them.
Girl Hub is a strategic collaboration between the Department for International Development and the Nike Foundation, designed to bring together the expertise of both organisations to transform the lives of adolescent girls. We currently operate in Rwanda, Nigeria and Ethiopia.
