Global Give Back Circle exists to educate and advance pathways to financial inclusion and work for HER.
60 Days. One Learning Question. Real Evidence.
Every 60 days we share new evidence around a critical learning question – designed to allow all of us to understand, and do something about, the challenges and barriers keeping at-risk young women in the margins. At Global Give Back Circle, we believe data is not meant to sit in a report. It is meant to broaden everyone’s frame of reference, shift systems and spark change. Read. Watch. View. Share with others.
60 Days. One Question. Real Evidence.
Every 60 days, we ask a critical question rooted in the real challenges facing women and girls in our communities. It drives a focused sprint of action and honest inquiry and at the end, we share what we’ve learned. Because at GGBC, data is not meant to sit in a report. It is meant to move people, shift systems, and spark change.
The Learning Question
“How do marginalized, young women in rural Kenya define dignity, fulfillment, and respect – and how do these definitions manifest in their professional and personal goals?”
Beyond the Numbers ®
Our first learning question launches a series of learning question which follow, by grounding everything in HER definitions – not ours.

THE Stories
“I used to think money was something that happened to other people. Now I have a plan.”
What does dignity, respect, and fulfillment mean in HER words, rooted in HER contexts.

The Podcast
Before we can speak about barriers, systems and solutions, we need to understand what young women themselves are reaching for.

Change doesn't happen in a straight line.
It happens in a circle.
At GGBC, we believe that true empowerment is cyclical — when one girl rises, she reaches back and lifts another. Our model is built around four interconnected pillars, each one reinforcing the next, creating a self-sustaining circle of change.
Give Back
Every girl designs and implements her own Give Back Project — a real, community-based initiative with weekly activities and measurable impact. Giving back doesn't wait until you have everything. It starts now.
Economic Empowerment
From securing employment to launching businesses, our girls graduate as economically independent young women — ready to provide for themselves, their families, and their communities. This is what the circle was always building toward.
Mentorship
Every girl in our programme is paired with a dedicated woman mentor — local or from across the globe — who champions her journey, shares her experience, and helps her see what's possible. Because every girl deserves the best.
Skills
Through Saturday workshops and school-based programmes, girls gain the digital, life, and workforce-readiness skills they need to participate confidently in the modern economy. Knowledge is the right foundation of life.
Our Programs in Kenya
Behind every empowered young woman is a network of support, skills, and opportunity. These are the programs that build that network.
We remove the financial barriers which prevent marginalized young women from completing their education.
Our structured mentoring model matches participants with role model mentors – local and global.
The Numbers Behind the Mission
Since 2006, we have been showing up in classrooms, communities, and conversations for young women who deserve more. Here is what two decades of commitment looks like.

HER Story
The Story of Naserian From Pokot
Meet Naserian,
growing up in the arid hills of West Pokot, Naserian's world was shaped by drought, distance, and expectation. Water was scarce. Schools were far. And for a girl in her community, the path forward was rarely one she got to choose for herself. At 15, with her family facing mounting pressure to have her married, Naserian's future felt like it had already been decided.
Then she joined the Global Give Back Circle.
"In Pokot, people would say a girl's value is in what she brings to a family. Global Give Back Circle showed me that my value is in what I bring to the world."
— Naserian, Global Give Back Circle Alumna, West Pokot
