Systems change for women.

We began as a grassroots initiative known as the Ghartey Dove Girls Project, focused on education, employment, and entrepreneurship for young women and girls in West Africa, with the aim of self-sufficiency and breaking beyond pre-described expectations.

It became clear that education on its own was not enough. Without health, women cannot meaningfully engage with school, work, or community life. Health became our central focus, and the four pillars now sit alongside one another in a single theory of change.

Today, the Foundation operates and engages across 23 countries on five continents, working with regulators, ministries and multilateral agencies, and running programmes alongside local partners and clinicians on the ground.

We sit alongside regulators when they discuss approval pathways. We brief parliamentarians before they vote. We co-design implementation with clinicians on the ground. And we fund and run programmes for women and girls living in the conditions that policy is meant to address.
