Our Mission: The Three Wings

We empower girls through three foundational pillars that guide everything we do

Prioritize Education

We provide scholarships and school supplies that help best-performing girls continue their education and succeed.

Persevere Through Challenges

We teach resilience and determination through mentorship during our school tours, helping girls overcome obstacles and develop the strength to pursue their dreams.

Believe In Yourself

During our school tours, girls receive the confidence to believe in themselves and recognize their unlimited potential.

Transforming Lives Through Education & Mentorship

Since January 2022, YAS Girls’ Leadership Foundation has been breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for girls across Sierra Leone. Through our comprehensive programs, we’re not just changing individual lives—we’re transforming entire communities.

“Before YAS Girls, I thought my future was already decided. But they showed me I can be anything I want. Now I’m top of my class and planning to become a doctor!”
