The Girl Fund


That’s what we believe and that’s why we work to elevate the interests, needs, and rights of adolescent girls on the global agenda.

We bring together the UN, non-governmental organizations and the private sector to focus attention and resources on adolescent girls. There are more than 600 million adolescent girls in the developing world alive today, making up half of the largest youth generation in history. The opportunities adolescent girls have in the coming years will shape their lives and the lives of those around them.

Your investment in The Girl Fund will support the UN’s work to better the lives of adolescent girls. Help ensure girls have access to quality education and health care; adequate livelihoods; and freedom from violence, HIV/AIDS, and harmful practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation.

Join us in giving global girls the attention they deserve!
