The Power of Social-Emotional Learning
What We Provide
Public school alone isn't enough. PinK Girl provides the support girls need to thrive in school and enter the workforce.
Tutoring or Academic Counseling
For girls in grades 7–12, we use an interactive teaching approach to strengthen learning in core subjects, including math, physics, biology, chemistry, economics, history, geography, and spoken and written English.
Life Skills
Beyond academics, PinK Girl's Life Skills program gives girls a safe place to belong, build confidence, and develop the skills to shape their futures—an opportunity that is rare in Ethiopia, especially for girls.
Summer English Camp
This helps girls build the English skills they need to succeed on national exams and in higher education. Through immersive activities, games, and conversation, girls gain confidence while learning in a fun, supportive environment.
All girls have the right to education. Education fosters dignity and a sense of self-worth. It offers opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills and enhances life prospects. Along with nutrition, health and skills, education is a pillar of human capital: These essential elements together enable people to lead productive lives and to contribute to their countries’ economic growth and development.
