Milaan is a social development organization founded on the belief that investing in adolescents girls is not only the smart and right thing to do, but critical to drive social change. We empower adolescent girls with education, skills and confidence to take action to fight for a gender-equal world, where they are respected, where they have equal access to opportunities, and are free from violence and discrimination.

We define empowerment as a process of building girls' awareness and capacity, leading to greater participation, decision making power, control, and ultimately, transformative action in their families, communities and in the world.
