Giving Wings has since 2010 worked with supporting organisations, projects and people working on the health of young girls and women all over the world.  To a large extent we focus on Menstrual Health and the improvement of Sexual and Reproductive Health but we also support entrepreneurship and leadership programmes. 

Girls and women represent a majority of the world's 700 million poorest people and we believe that a way to get people out of poverty is through education, health and equal rights. We invest in and provide grants for partners who work with the mission of  improving the situation for women and girls in low- and middle income countries. ​​
