In celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8, we’re highlighting some of our partnerships that are empowering today’s girls to become tomorrow’s leaders.
To celebrate how we are empowering girls to change the future, check out these three stories that share programs, Takeovers and other initiatives that put girls in the driver’s seat of their future:
The ripple effect: Menstrual health, girls’ empowerment and a brighter future
When girls thrive, we all flourish. Providing menstrual health resources and clean water empowers girls to become agents of change and build a brighter future. Our work with the Kimberly-Clark Foundation is building a foundation for girls to lead with confidence.
