Girls Gotta Run

Girls Gotta Run Foundation invests in girls who use running and education to empower themselves and their communities.

Food insecurity is real in Ethiopia right now, and studies show that when food is scarce, girls' life choices narrow.

We're working to change that by providing hot nutritious meals 6 days/week.

We are proud to share that we have launched a Mother's Group in Soddo!
