Empowered women and girls make a difference and change the world

MAIA leaders explain the importance of being Bridges to Empowerment

Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and therefore also half of its potential.

MAIA is an organization led by Indigenous women for Indigenous women, an innovation hub and education learning laboratory where Girl Pioneers decide to take a courageous bet and blaze a bold new trajectory.

We know that these brave young women already have in them the talent and capacity to pursue their dreams and ignite positive change. We fulfill our role as one part of the Bridge To Empowerment by connecting their skills with the opportunities of the 21st century.

Girl Pioneers are empowered to empower. They are the solution we urgently need to build a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow.

Today and every day, we support women’s empowerment and stand by Girl Pioneers as we build bridges toward opportunity. Let’s build a brighter future together!

Empowered Women, an Infinite Impact!
