  • “REALgirl really helped me come out of my shell. You learn so many amazing and great things that you probably  will never learn if you haven't gone to this program. I just graduated from REALgirl and I'm really glad I went. I  made new friends and learned to be myself and not change for anyone. It is a great experience that every mom,  teen, or young girl needs to see."

Where we work

To ensure we have a deep and lasting impact, we have made the decision to focus our efforts in Guatemala, with a strategy of going ‘narrow and deep’.


We are always open to collaborating and building sustainable partnerships. In addition to our in-depth work in Guatemala, we have also collaborated on programs in Ethiopia, Canada, Hong Kong, and the United States.
