Our network of Global Girl Project Graduates globally are able to apply for and access micro grants to fund their individually created and self-led community projects. This will facilitate social action and community development that is women-, girl-, and locally-led.

Social norms, discriminatory laws, and limited investment hinder girls from reaching their full potential, particularly for those in marginalised Global Majority communities. We are missing out on transformative social change and gender equity globally. Currently, girls are not seen by their communities as leaders due to their gender and race; girls are denied the support and opportunities to make the change they need in their communities.
Through our 3-month Global Girl Leadership Initiative our girls, aged 13 to 18 years, learn the vital skills needed to mobilise and lead within their communities. Our grant programme will give our GGLI graduates the opportunity to develop, plan and then implement their own community projects, both locally and internationally through our ecosystem for social change. Girls will develop a project plan and then apply for grants from GGP to fund their community projects.
