Why Adolescent Girls?
Education, health, mobility and safety are closely connected in a girl’s life. Progress in one area can be difficult to sustain when the conditions around her remain unchanged.
Milaan strengthens girls’ knowledge and ability to make decisions, while engaging the people and institutions that influence whether those decisions can become reality.
Our Approach
Leadership needs somewhere to go.
A girl can gain confidence in a classroom or peer group. The next question is whether she has opportunities to use it.
Milaan’s approach connects learning with practical leadership, community participation and access to institutions that can respond to girls’ needs.
Girls learn, decide and lead.
Girls develop life skills, learn about their rights, facilitate peer groups and take action on issues they identify in their communities.
Communities make participation possible.
Families, boys and young men, teachers and local leaders are engaged in addressing the expectations and barriers that influence girls’ education, mobility, safety and choices.
Institutions help extend access.
Milaan works with grassroots organisations, frontline workers and government systems to connect girls with information, opportunities and services, while using research and feedback to strengthen program delivery.
Our Programs
From early education to adolescent leadership and opportunities beyond school, Milaan’s work addresses different moments in girls’ lives and the barriers around them.
Girls learning to lead, by leading.
A community that grows with her.

Partnerships
The work is stronger when knowledge and responsibility are shared.
Milaan’s work brings together girls, local communities, government institutions, grassroots organisations, researchers and funding partners.
