Our purpose, put simply, is to Develop a Girl • Change a Community.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls and young women face some of the greatest social disadvantage of our nation’s population. This gap appears in health, education, employment opportunities, earning capacity and life span. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women play a pivotal role in their families and communities, yet their needs are often overlooked more than their male counterparts.

A confident, educated girl is an active and productive community member. She is the most influential force in her family and wider community to break the cycle of disadvantage and to build a healthier family, a stronger community, and a brighter future.
