Project Soar empowers marginalized teen girls across Morocco through the "5 Soar Pillars of Empowerment": Value, Voice, Body, Rights, and Path. This initiative supports Girl Squads - groups of 20 teen girls - through the Project Soar in a Bag program, which includes 25 transformative empowerment workshops. These programs foster self-confidence, advocacy skills, menstrual health awareness, and future goal setting, all within safe spaces where girls can thrive.
Ranked 137th in the 2025 Gender Gap Index and falling to 10th place in the MENA region, Morocco remains a patriarchal society with deeply entrenched gender norms. Many socio-economic barriers prevent girls from accessing equal educational opportunities, particularly in rural areas. These girls need dedicated spaces to build their self-worth, develop agency, and nurture the determination required to overcome such challenging circumstances.
Project Soar trains local women to become facilitators and role models for girls. These Soar Facilitators lead empowerment workshops covering topics like "Managing Menstruation with Dignity" and "The Right to Be Free from Child Marriage." Through these sessions, girls gain practical skills and knowledge, including sustainable menstrual solutions lasting 2-3 years. Soar Girls are also trained to lead community dialogues, advocating for the rights of their peers.
The Soar Solution equips marginalized girls with lifelong skills and knowledge. As informed self-advocates, they are empowered to pursue education, build careers, and actively oppose injustices. In 2025, 100% of Soar Girls passed their school year, with 0% school dropout, and no cases of underage marriage.
