WHOM WE SERVE?
BGW provides life skills and mentorship for girls in Samoa rural areas. We serve girls 12-18, and mentors, ages 19-30 +; everyone is welcome to participate. 100% of the girls and 60% of the mentors are women of color, 100% of the girls are from rural areas. All program participants are from low income families and cannot afford tuition for enrichment programs our youth and mentors also represent a myriad of family, sexual orientation, religious, political and educational backgrounds
PROGRAM IMPACT:
BGW girls work with their mentors to apply for college, jobs and organize service projects they receive over 100 hours of mentorship, which improves their academic achievement, self-confidence, public speaking & leadership skills. Statistics show that the number one way to improve the world is to invest in young women; girls reinvest 90% of the resources back into their communities.
What do we need?
We are seeking funding for the following:
Daily snacks for each school twice a week.
Uniform shirt for the girls to wear preferable shirts for sport play activities
Arts, Craft, stationary for projects
Field Trip funding busses, entry fees
Why help?
The benefits of empowering youth and striving for gender equality in a developing country like Samoa is unmistakable. The lives of the kids here in Samoa are often very difficult and the focus is often daily survival rather than future success. As a result of this, many of the country’s smartest kids have not had opportunities that other youth have been privileged to experience that would benefit them in the future.
A contribution in any amount to the funding of BGW program will help to make this once in a lifetime opportunity a reality for underprivileged Samoan youth
We want to thank Frida feminist for being our first grant to be established in Samoa! check us out on their site
