? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

STF Partners provide a nuanced, community-based approach to their interventions. This means that while each girl may have a slightly different educational experience, each is equipped with the skills she needs to survive and thrive in her environment. She’s the First provides flexible funding to these organizations. This ensures girls not only attend school, but also receive additional support that’s proven to work: mentorship, knowledge of sexual and reproductive health and rights, and life skills.
