•Host an intimate dinner party at their home and ask their friends to donate.

•Connect the organization with leaders of other organizations to create partnerships.

•Stay informed about board matters.

•Attend meetings every two months.

Mission:

The main mission of Girl Now Woman Later is to educate girls about menstrual health and reduce period shame. GNWL also works to increase the graduation rate for middle school girls and high school girls in Burkina Faso. We strongly believe that an educated girl will develop into an emancipated woman. An all-volunteer organization, we promote science-based outreach and education through workshop series, coaching, and collaborative projects.
