Girls Leading Our World Initiatives

Who We Are Girls Leading Our World Initiatives (iGLOW), is a start up grassroots organization registered as an NGO under Kenyan laws dedicated to the personal, professional and political advancement of young women and girls in Kenya. It is led and run by a group of dynamic young Kenyan women. Our Mission Girls Leading Our World Initiatives prepares young women and girls for positions of personal, local and global leadership. The organization focuses on broadening the horizon of possibilities for young women in underprivileged regions and advancing the trajectory of the next generation of Kenyan leaders. Vision We believe that the best hope for alleviating poverty is through the building of a massive force of “Smart, Driven and Unstoppable” generation of female leaders at all school levels. A generation of such women and girls is what provides for a strong, democratic and progressive society. It is this belief that underlines the organization’s “Her Presidential Campaign” initiative; a political and media literacy program dedicated to advancing the political participation of women. Through the program, girls are trained to view themselves as potential agents of transformation and encouraged/prepared to run for political and elective office at all school levels.
