Let Girls Read, Run, Grow (LGRRG)

Let Girls Read, Run, Grow (LGRRG) is an organization that supports the development of African adolescent girls through education, athletics and entrepreneurship. Globally, girls face many challenges that can deter their access to education and opportunities to grow beyond their circumstances. Through forces beyond their control, many lack the support needed to thrive. We know that educating girls transforms families, communities and generations. When girls participate in athletics, they lead healthier lives both physically and mentally. Entrepreneurship through farming, the girls gain the skills and knowledge to break the cycle of poverty and strengthen their communities. LGRRG, is employing a 3-pronged approach to enhance the perception of the value of girls at the individual, community and institutional levels. By creating an enabling environment for education, developing self-esteem and discipline through athletics, teaching entrepreneurship and self-sustenance through agriculture, we equip girls to make important contributions to themselves and communities.
