Our work is organised around four interlocking programs — each designed to remove a specific barrier between a girl and the life she’s capable of. Read on for what each looks like in practice.
Confidence is not innate; it is built. Through ongoing personal development workshops, peer mentorship, and one-on-one coaching, we give girls and young women the inner tools they need to advocate for themselves — at home, in school, and in their communities.
We focus on the moments that shape adult outcomes: navigating adolescence, making decisions about education and relationships, recovering from setbacks, and finding role models who look like them.
Gender-based violence does not stop with a poster. We work upstream — in schools, in marketplaces, in homes — to shift the conditions that allow it to continue. Our advocacy combines education with practical referral pathways for survivors.
We partner with local authorities, religious leaders, and community gatekeepers because real protection requires every stakeholder at the table.
We don’t wait for girls to grow up to think of them as leaders. Our leadership track introduces governance, facilitation, financial literacy, and public-speaking skills from secondary school onwards — and continues into adulthood through our Dew Business School initiative.
The goal is not just to teach skills. It is to build a generation of women equipped to take seats at every table they walk into.
The most predictable reason a vulnerable girl drops out of school is logistical: a fee that wasn’t paid, a uniform she couldn’t afford to replace, exercise books she had to share with a sibling. We close those gaps directly.
Where we can, we sponsor girls through full academic years. Where the need is more immediate, we deliver materials at scale — exercise books, uniforms, learning aids — to the schools that need them most.
