Our Story &
Mission
A faith-based organization founded to address gender inequality and empower young Black girls across Africa to live out their biggest dreams.
Empowering Dreams, Breaking Barriers
Girls Work It Together (GWIT) is a faith-based organization founded to address prevalent gender inequality and social issues in Nigeria and across Africa.
We are dedicated to advancing the holistic growth of young Black girls in Africa and its diaspora. Our mission is to foster their comprehensive development in mental, physical, spiritual, and academic health.
At Girls Work It Together, we believe in empowering young girls to achieve their full potential, providing them with the tools and support needed to break through societal barriers. Our organization is committed to creating a nurturing environment where these young girls can flourish and overcome challenges.
