The Village
They say ‘it takes a village to raise a child’, therefore we have created a healthy space where men and women from all walks of life are able to use their journeys to inspire and mentor our girls.
The Village is a community in BGLI that houses the people, organization and resources required to raise our girls. We believe it takes a village to raise a child, therefore we have created a healthy space where men and women from all walks of life are able to use their journeys to inspire and mentor our girls. We also have organizations with different skill set who lend their expertise in grooming our girls during our workshops or other BGLI programs.
