Support our work
Girl Rising is a girls' education non-profit with a mission to use the power of storytelling to change the way the world values girls and their education. Through our global programs, we are working to break the barriers to girls’ education.
Educating girls is one of the world’s very best investments - transforming lives and unleashing positive ripple effects across families, communities and nations. Learn more about the ripple effects of girls’ education.
The Power of Storytelling
Girl Rising launched as a nonprofit after witnessing the power of storytelling to catalyze change. The stories of nine ordinary, extraordinary girls in the original Girl Rising film help spark a global movement for girls’ education. Today, storytelling remains at the heart of our education programs and Future Rising.
