ABOUT US
PinK Girl (Power IN Knowledge) was founded to change the future for Ethiopian girls, where only about 3% graduated from high school due to poverty, early marriage, and teenage pregnancy.
We have a legacy...
In 2011, PinK Girl (Power In Knowledge) was founded to change a heartbreaking reality: at that time, only about 3% of Ethiopian girls completed high school, with many leaving school for early marriage and motherhood. Unable to build a girls' school, founders Julie, Dee, and Ansley started instead with 15 girls, a Saturday tutoring program, and a vision. Even though Dee has now passed away, her enthusiasm and vision helped begin God's work through the academy of PinK Girl.​
What began as academic support quickly grew into something much greater. Alongside tutoring in core subjects and English, PinK Girl introduced Life Skills coaching, recognizing that confidence, resilience, decision-making, self-awareness, and healthy relationships are just as critical to a girl's success as academics.​
Today, PinK Girl serves more than 420 girls across three campuses with tutoring, English instruction, and Life Skills coaching. The results speak for themselves: every PinK Girl student passes the national pre-university exams, 205 students are currently attending college or university, 185 have graduated, and 70% are employed in their chosen careers.​
By combining academic excellence with intentional Life Skills development, PinK Girl has become one of Ethiopia's most successful girls' education programs—equipping young women not only to graduate, but to build lives of independence, leadership, and opportunity.
​In a country where girls remain among the most excluded from education, PinK Girl is creating opportunity, independence, and lasting change—one girl at a time.
