Many girls in Sub-Saharan Africa lack equal access to education and healthcare, compared to their counterparts in most parts of the Global North. This disparity primarily stems from mismanaged governments and the persistence of unfair, postcolonial contracts that have plunged a significant portion of the population into poverty.
Additionally, patriarchal structures worldwide contribute to unequal opportunities, often resulting in women being confined to household and familial duties.
Inadequate infrastructure further worsens the situation, as long distances to schools pose dangers, particularly for girls. Thus, gender disparity begins at a young age and persists throughout their lives. An often absent or weak middle class contributes to a poor economy characterized by job scarcity, compelling a notable portion of the citizens into either unemployment or the informal employment sector.
Only a very few individuals of society manage to break out of this cycle without external financial support. That's why, just like organizations in the global North, those in the global South rely on financial assistance to carry out their vital work for the communities.
Following numerous trips to Africa and Haiti with various NGOs and extensive insights into the global situation of girls, Toni felt compelled to engage more directly with specific projects and provide flexible financial support. Consequently, she decided to establish her own organization.
The Toni Garrn Foundation was founded in 2016 to champion girls' education initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa, aiming to empower individuals, their families, and local communities.
Over the years, we have expanded beyond our initial focus solely on education to offer a more comprehensive and tailored support.
Our collaboration with partners in the Global South encompasses various areas, including adult education, healthcare, safe accommodation infrastructure, and both mental and physical well-being.
