Batonga Foundation
The Batonga Foundation empowers young women and girls to discover their limitless, untapped potential and transform it into social and economic power. They envision a safer, healthier, and more equitable world in which all girls and women can thrive.
Batonga’s mission is to equip the hardest to reach girls and young women with knowledge and skills to be agents of change in their own lives and communities. Batonga delivers high quality innovative programming so that every single girl and young woman we work with can reach her full social, economic and personal potential.
