Testimonials & Impact

What our participants have to say:

"The most important thing I gained is the power of sisterhood. I had never been in an environment where girls are so relentlessly supportive of each other."

Isabel, Netherlands
GGU 2023

“Through GGU I learned that gaining confidence makes such a huge difference in everyday life. It opens doors you never were able to reach or even knew existed. It’s a powerful tool that pushes you forward. You won’t realize the true power of believing in yourself until you experience what it can do for you.”

Hannah, Germany
GGU 2023/2024

"We may all be coming from different places, different countries with different problems that bother us, but GGU assured us that we all can be changemakers and leaders in our communities."

Oluhle, South Africa
GGU 2022

"These women who have achieved so much in their respective fields were so empowering. Hearing from them not only broadened our horizons, but it also reinforced the belief that we all have the potential to rise above any obstacle and reach for our dreams."

Akanksha, India
GGU 2024

"I want to be allowed to have the same dreams as boys and have the same chances as boys to fulfil them"

Julia, Poland
GGU 2022

"We as women must support one another and help each other to be the change-making leaders that we are. If you educate a woman that shall affect a whole village"

Zaithwa, Malawi
GGU 2023
