Global Girl Project Empowers Girls from Global South
Jules Lynch started the Global Girl Project in 2014 to help girls from the Global South become leaders in their communities.
She noticed that there were many opportunities for girls from the Global North but very few for those from the Global South.
The project offers leadership training and connects girls from different countries to work together on community projects.
Over 1,500 girls have participated, leading more than 170 projects that have helped over 10,000 people.
The goal is to show that girls can be powerful leaders and change their communities for the better.
Jules Lynch founded the Global Girl Project in 2014 to provide leadership opportunities for girls from the Global South.
The organization runs two key programs: the Global Girl Leadership Initiative (GGLI) and Global Graduates Connect (GGC).
Over 1,500 girls have participated in leadership programs, leading more than 170 community projects.
These projects have addressed issues like gender-based violence, discrimination, child marriage, and access to education.
The Global Girl Project aims to shift the narrative that girls from the Global South are beneficiaries of aid rather than capable leaders.
