Girls' Empowerment

It’s time to put girls in control. When we do, everyone wins. Because when one girl finds her power to make different choices that change her life, it inspires others to do so too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts her family, her community, her country.

It’s time girls had the freedom to be their confident and curious selves.

It’s time to arm girls with the skills to negotiate, and redefine what they are told is possible.

That’s where BaNgaAfayo comes in.

We create programs that help girls make choices and changes in their lives. Igniting their confidence to act differently at a time that can define their future. So every girl can choose to be in control of her body, her health, her learning and livelihood.

Our approach

Our programs – in partnership with schools and communities where we work – focus on the development of the whole girl. A combination of long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment and research-based programming equips girls to lead fulfilling and productive lives, break the cycle of poverty, and become role models in their communities.

 

Invest in a girl!

When you make a one-time or monthly donation, you give girls a chance to participate in  our health or mentorship programs and help them create a path out of poverty for themselves and their families.

Girls' empowerment programs

We are working to ensure girls in our programs live healthy and active lifestyles and are less likely to engage in risky behavior; they are eager to learn, successful in school, and more likely to finish secondary education.

Healthy Living

Through our health programs, girls increase their understanding of health issues affecting them, their families, and their communities. They develop the motivation and practical skills to take charge of their health today and throughout their lives.

Life Skills Development

Through our life skills programs, girls participate in activities and experiences that build the learning, skills, and behaviors that increase confidence and resilience, enabling them to set and achieve their goals and lead productive, independent, and fulfilling lives.

Academic Enrichment & Support

Through our education programs, girls participate in activities and experiences that expand upon and support their school-based learning and engagement, and provide the assistance and guidance that may not be present at home.

Empowerment Through Sports

Did you know girls who participate in sports are likely to do better in school? Graduate from high school at higher rates? And enjoy lifelong health benefits? For all these reasons and more, we keep girls playing.

Back to School Program

The Back to School Program ensures that children from low-income families in our area receive the tools they need to succeed in school. This includes backpacks stuffed with grade level supplies for children plus sanitary towels for teenage girls in our programs and those from poverty stricken families. Thanks to generous people like you, the program has so far reached over 3000 students.

The Back to School Program is one of many ways that Ba Nga Afayo Initiative is working to keep families in stable housing, supplying them with the assistance needed to free up financial resources to pay rent and grow some food. The program also provides relief to families worried about the extra expense, and joy to children as they prepare for a great year ahead.

In the coming years we are looking forward to serving even more children, schools, and communities that need the support to help young learners succeed in the classroom. We continually seek partnerships with new donors and organizations dedicated to making a difference in the educational sphere while keeping our current bonds as strong as ever. While we, as an organization, have learned every step of the way, we still have much learning to do. We will continue to champion education for students in need and make it a priority to establish equality in the classroom, persisting to challenge the income disparities children face to improve educational opportunities and academic outcomes.
