how we started
Girl Up was founded by the UN Foundation in 2010 as an initiative to help support UN agencies that focus on adolescent girls.
UN Foundation
The United Nations Foundation links the UN’s work with others around the world, mobilizing the energy and expertise of business and nongovernmental organizations to help the UN tackle issues including climate change, global health, peace and security, women’s empowerment, poverty eradication, energy access, and U.S.-United Nations relations.
United Nations
Our girls’ fundraising efforts support United Nations’ programs (from agencies like UNICEF, UNHCR, UNFPA and UN Women) that give adolescent girls in developing countries an equal chance for education, health, social and economic opportunities, and a life free from violence.
