The 10,000 Girls program provides girls in the villages of Senegal with the tools to succeed. The program has two interdependent components: education and entrepreneurship.

Education

The education program supports girls at risk of leaving school early by
  • purchasing textbooks and providing tutoring and space in which to study
  • monitoring school progress
  • encouraging parents to support their daughters' education

Bottom line

10,000 Girls is
  • self-supporting through the girls' own work
  • sustainable as it grows
  • capable of scaling to the needs of the region
  • supported by the local communities
