Girls’ Holistic Development

Girls’ Holistic Development works at multiple levels of the community to strengthen social norms that support positive health and social outcomes for adolescent girls ages 10 to 14. The program adopts a “change through culture,” participatory approach that aims to change harmful social norms by recognizing and valuing the role of “grandmothers” (elder women) and increasing community capacity and cohesion to promote girls’ health and well-being.
