Our Purpose
GGDF was founded on the belief that every girl deserves the chance to pursue her passions and reach her full potential. We exist to challenge societal norms, dismantle barriers, and make real-world training, professional connections, and career opportunities accessible to young women from all backgrounds. By equipping girls with essential technical and leadership skills, we enable them to take confident steps toward careers traditionally closed off to women.
Our work goes beyond skill-building. We recognize that success in male-dominated industries often requires resilience, confidence, and mental strength. GGDF provides mental health support through counseling, workshops, and peer networks, ensuring that girls are equipped to overcome challenges, manage stress, and thrive personally and professionally.
