SGF envisions a world where every girl, regardless of background or country of origin, has equitable access to quality education and the power to transform her future.
Over 120 million girls around the world will never be given the opportunity to even take the first step. For millions more, the journey will be fraught with obstacles, such as forced marriage, trafficking, domestic and familial responsibilities, economic disparities, gender-based violence, and discrimination.
SGF believes geography should have no bearing on a girl’s ability to achieve academic success, gain financial independence, claim her voice, and make her mark on the world.
For each girl who completes her educational journey,
the impact is exponential – extending far beyond her own academic trajectory and evoking global change.
For every year of schooling she completes, she boosts her earnings by as much as 20%.
She experiences better mental and physical wellness, leading to improved nutrition and maternal health,
a reduction in child mortality rates, and the prevention of HIV in her community.She advocates for gender equality, challenges societal structures that threaten to marginalize her, and participates actively in civic decision-making and leadership.
She advances workplace innovation and contributes to economic stability.
She inspires others in her family and community to pursue education, lifting themselves out of poverty and transforming their own futures for generations to come.
