A girl’s future should never be decided by violence, hunger, or fear.
From Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to rural Kenya, Global Roots protects girls facing some of the world’s harshest threats—keeping them safe, in school, and surrounded by the support they need to survive and grow.

Keep Them Learning
Girls Forced Out of School
In Afghanistan, girls have been banned from secondary education and pushed out of the classrooms that once gave them hope.
Violence Disguised as Tradition
In Kenya, thousands of girls still face the threat of FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) and early marriage, often in silence and during school holidays.
Poverty That Pushes Girls Out
When hunger deepens and income disappears, girls are often the first to lose safety, stability, and the chance to stay in school.
Global Roots exists to protect girls whose futures are under threat where education and protection are hardest to reach—girls pushed out of classrooms, pressured into child marriage, exposed to violence, or trapped by poverty.
Standing With Girls Where They Need Us Most
Education That Refuses
To Stop
When girls were forced out of school, we brought learning back.
Global Roots runs classrooms for children excluded from education, helping girls rebuild lost learning and reclaim hope.
Alongside education, we support families with practical livelihood tools that reduce hunger, strengthen income, and help keep girls in school.

Protecting Girls Before Harm Happens
In Kenya, girls remain at risk of FGM and child marriage, especially during school holidays.
Our FGM Zero program prevents harm through legal protection, mentoring, and community monitoring.
When girls face immediate danger, we provide rescue, safe housing, and educational support so they can remain safe and stay in school.
