Goals
- Build resilience, entrepreneurship, and technology skills so young women and girls become protagonists of positive change, while addressing the root causes of vulnerability and lack of access to opportunity.
- Engender and sustain transformative academic and professional aspirations and achievement for young women in STEAM careers through in-school and out-of-school interventions, such as national science fairs, capacity trainings, community dialogues, and storytelling, and innovations such as “father-daughter” conferences.
- Support enabling environments, made up of a diverse support network of peers, male champions, community members, and role models, that actively address GBV, including harmful traditional practices and barriers to girls. By increasing knowledge, STEAM capacities, and support from enabling environments, SHE’s GREAT! addresses gender inequalities, encourages girls to pursue STEAM opportunities, creates innovative community solutions, and contributes to more positive perceptions of girls’ contributions and roles.
