African Adolescent Girl Fund
The African Adolescent Girl Fund (AGF) is a dedicated initiative by the Fidel Götz Foundation focused on empowering adolescent girls and strengthening Catholic secondary schools across Sub-Saharan Africa.
We work at the intersection of education, leadership, and sustainability, ensuring that young women have the tools and opportunities to thrive, lead, and create lasting change.
Vision
We envision an Africa where female leaders stand shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts in politics, business, and social services. A continent where equality is not just a dream but a reality, and where empathetic leadership and creativity drive an inclusive and prosperous future for all.
Mission
Our mission is to empower adolescent girls and strengthen Catholic secondary schools across Sub-Saharan Africa by investing in education, mentorship and sustainable development. Through scholarships, leadership training, and financial sustainability initiatives, we nurture a generation of confident, capable female leaders who will shape the future of their communities, economies, and Africa as a whole.
