Girls growing up oppressed by extreme poverty and gender inequality are rarely asked what they want to be when they grow up. For many, they’ve never been given a chance to think about what they want in life.

One Girl Can gives girls the freedom to explore their aspirations through a series of empowering workshops. Then, throughout their time with One Girl Can, girls receive one-on-one mentoring and coaching to develop their self-worth, create a plan for their future, and accomplish their goals.

Every year, girls take part in a progressive goal-setting program which is taught to every girl at all our partner schools. These interactive workshops craeted by One Girl Can teach goal setting, strategic thinking, and help girls to build confidence, and create a plan for career development. Each year of the program builds on the previous workshops to give the girls the tools, motivation, and confidence to set and attain their goals.

We bring 3rd and 4th year university students together annually in Nairobi for a 2-day conference led by female business professionals. Attendees learn strategies for well-being and confidence building, financial responsibility, job seeking, entrepreneurial ventures and more.

Our comprehensive online program trains mentors and mentees to have productive conversations and meetings using coaching, career development tools and resources to accomplish set goals.

We entend our impact by giving girls a safe environment to have open discussions on all subjects, provide peer feedback, and build healthy communication and information sharing.
