At Girl Now Woman Later Inc. we believe in fighting for girls to complete their education instead of entering into child marriage. That's why we offer our entire program at no cost to underprivileged girls. To pursue our mission, we are volunteer-run and volunteer-supported by generous donors like you. We are an Atlanta Based 501(c)3 serving internationally in Burkina Faso West Africa.
Burkina Faso has the 7th highest child marriage rate globally. Plus a 2019 global database study by Amnesty International found that 52% of women in Burkina Faso currently between 20-24 years of age were married before the age of 18.
These workshops support the next generation with knowledge about their changing bodies. This cuts down on the shame and isolation girls experience during menstruation. Therefore inspiring them to stay in school and focus on their studies. We are helping them grow into independent women through various sponsorships to guide and nuture them.
We want to improve graduation rates and make the social economy more inclusive for women and girls in Burkina Faso.
