Creating pathways for girls in Ethiopia to reach their potential through education and employable skills.

25,000+ girls have access to education.

With your support, we'll reach 1million girls by 2035.

Studio Samuel Girls Academy advances girls’ education in Ethiopia by removing the barriers that prevent adolescent girls from staying in school. Through education access, life skills, and employable skills training, girls build pathways to independence and long-term security.​​

Educating Girls
Changes Everything

When girls have access to education, they are safer and better equipped to shape their futures. Poverty, menstrual stigma, early marriage, and limited access to resources place girls at risk of dropping out of school—often permanently.

 

At Studio Samuel Girls Academy, we believe education is protection for girls. By addressing the real-world challenges that keep girls out of the classroom, we help them remain in school, succeed academically, and develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive.​​​

Education is Her Protection.
