Girls Rising is a champion in all three of SWAHA’s categories of concern – education, environment, and human rights. They operate in twelve countries and use the power of storytelling to change the way the world values girls and their education. Girls Rising emphasizes the importance of building girls’ confidence so they can persist in their education and advocate for themselves, their communities, and the environment.
SWAHA believes that educating girls is one of the most powerful solutions for addressing climate change. Educational opportunities empower girls to be more effective and resilient stewards of food, soil, trees, and water. Girls Rising blends all three of SWAHA’s core passions and is a catalyst for positive impact and long-term change.
