What WE Built Together

Not only have we help them build strength, stability and self-reliance, the Girls On Fire Leader have worked with other girls to build sustainable futures for all girls.    

Another great Swahili proverb is “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

This is a marathon and we will go far if we have your support.  Check out what we already built together.
