Description of Girls Helping Girls:
Girls Helping Girls is an international nonprofit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area that partners girls in the United States with girls in schools and community organizations in developing countries to jointly identify problems in their communities and develop social change through micro lending projects to address those issues.
The mission of Girls Helping Girls is to build a global culture of girls consciously collaborating to make a difference. We strive not only to bridge international cultures but, more profoundly, to channel the power harvested from the girls' collaborative service projects to Eradicate Poverty, Increase Access to Education, Improve Health, and – most importantly – Promote Peace.
Statistics show that 94% of youth in America feel powerless to make a difference, while in the San Francisco region alone, one-third of girls report feeling helpless and depressed. GHG works to reverse this trend by teaching girls to value their identities and find strength in one other. GHG not only empowers girls from disadvantaged backgrounds to stand tall and assert their voice, but it also educates them to value cultural diversity.
This is our mission.
'It's great to be part of something so new and radical, that you don't have to go through grown-ups. These are girls actually connecting with each other.'
Angelica Teng, 17, creative director for Girls Helping Girls
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us....
