Global Give Back Circle exists to educate and advance pathways to employment for HER.
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
“What is the evidence telling us about the link between our Give Back Projects and a girl’s long-term sense of economic agency?”
Beyond the Numbers
3x more
Girls who complete our economic empowerment workshops are 3x more likely to start a small business or secure employment within 12 months. But the numbers only tell part of the story — our latest sprint digs into what’s really driving that shift.

60 days. Four communities. Countless moments of girls stepping boldly into their economic futures — pitching ideas, opening savings accounts, and leading their own Give Back Projects.
HER Podcast
What does it actually take for a girl from a marginalised community to become economically independent? In this episode, we speak with GGBC alumnae, local employers, and community leaders about what’s working — and what still needs to change.
Help us tell HER story, share the evidence.
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 Programmes in Kenya
Behind every empowered girl is a network of support, skills, and opportunity. These are the programmes that build that network.
The Numbers Behind the Mission
Since 2006, we have been showing up in classrooms, communities, and conversations for girls who deserve more. Here is what two decades of commitment looks like.

HER Story
One girl. One circle.
One ripple that never stops.
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. GGBC showed me that my value is in what I bring to the world."
— Naserian, GGBC Alumna, West Pokot

We don't do this alone. The circle is wider because of the organisations, institutions, and individuals who believe what we believe — that investing in girls is investing in the future.
