Many Moroccan girls from modest socio-economic backgrounds have large families and small homes. There is little private space to do homework, read, talk with friends or explore hobbies.

The Programs
Project Soar provides 50 lessons to empower teenage girls in the developing world. The Project Soar program is based off the 5 Pillars of Empowerment, which embody our beliefs that every girl should have the opportunity to know her Value, Voice, Body, Rights and Path.
A Project Soar Girl…
- Knows her Value. She is confident, has high self-esteem, and respects her own worth and potential.
- Knows her Voice. She communicates her thoughts clearly, resolves conflict effectively and advocates for herself productively.
- Knows her Body. She understands changes in her body and values her own health and wellness.
- Knows her Rights. She embraces her right to an education and understands her right to be free from exploitation, violence and forced marriage.
- Knows her Path. She has tools to envision her future, sets goals assertively and conducts action planning with ease.
