Focused on rural\, economically\, and geographically excluded communities where girls complete an average of only 2-3 years of schooling\, and only 33% advance to junior high\, SHE addresses three root causes that prevent girls and women from flourishing long-term: (1) limited access to education\, (2) lack of dignified employment opportunities\, and (3) climate change. Through community-led and delivered innovations and programs — including their viral Uniform That Grows — SHE equips girls and women with the tools to break the cycle of poverty\, and build futures where they not only survive — they thrive. In 2024\, SHE’s Founder\, Payton McGriff\, was recognized as a CNN Hero and honored by Oprah Winfrey.
