Daring Girls partners locally to ensure that girls have the knowledge, tools, mentorship and support to confidently design their own futures.

In partnership with our sister organization, GLAMI (Girls Livelihood and Mentorship Initiative), we support mentorship opportunities that help secondary school girls complete their education, develop into confident leaders, and transform their own lives and communities — in Tanzania and beyond.

We support GLAMI's work to implement two UNESCO Award Winning core mentoring programs. The four-year Binti Shupavu program for girls in lower secondary school (ages 13-18) teaches study skills, personal leadership, health, and self-confidence to increase graduation rates among vulnerable girls. The two-year Kisa Project prepares young women (ages 17-21) to attend university and create positive social change, culminating in a team capstone community service project.

These programs are remarkably effective, with girls in both mentoring programs regularly completing secondary school at higher rates, with higher test scores than their peers.

We have grown our reach significantly. In 2023, we expanded into Kenya with CWE-TECH (Centre for Women Empowerment in Technology). In 2024, we partnered with the Empowerment Initiative for Rural Women and Adolescents in Zambia (EIRWA) and the Regional Network of Children and Young People Trust in Zimbabwe (RNCYPT) to deliver the Binti Shupavu program, bringing our work to four countries across East and Southern Africa.

Nothing is more powerful than an educated, confident girl who dares to pursue her dreams and ignite change in her family, community, and society.
