The Impact of GLOW Club
We work directly with parents, local mentors, and GLOW Club participants to evaluate the impact of our programming and ensure that our curriculum meets the unique needs of girls. The impact we’ve measured through surveys with club participants and community members is extraordinary.
A survey conducted in India found that 100% of GLOW Club members recorded significant improvements after participating in a year of GLOW Club.
But that’s not all: the positive impacts of the program extended to parents as well. GLOW Club programming helped equalize parents’ educational aspirations for their sons and daughters. After one year, the preference for boys to complete education beyond secondary school increased from 88.1% to 99%, and there was a significant positive shift in support for girls’ education as well.
GLOW Club positively changes how girls view themselves and interact with their peers and community. We recently completed a three-year evaluation of our new GLOW Club curriculum in India and found girls improved in their social and emotional learning, leadership, self-advocacy, positive future outlook, and gender equality beliefs.
“In GLOW Club, I’ve learned to be confident, courageous, and how to express myself in public. I have developed confidence, and that’s what matters the most. Confidence is important because most of the girls in this community are abused, physically and sexually, and they can’t stand up and speak for their rights. But when you’re confident, you can do that.”
– Stephanie, GLOW Club Member from Kenya
“I felt that I have power when I joined GLOW Club. I am confident I can express myself more than before and advocate for myself. I am me and I love myself. After attending club, I learned to stand up for myself with my classmates at school. I am really excited because I now know my future goal to be an English teacher.”
