Women are integral to AG Hair’s success. Not only have they helped in the choices we’ve made and the products we make, they’ve inspired us to give back.
AG’s Women Leading Change Foundation gives women and girls access to education, empowering them to change their lives and have a positive impact on their communities. Since 2008, AG has built a school a year for girls in Africa.
Here’s how we do it: AG’s annual Wash Your Hair, Save a Life promotion raises thousands of dollars towards buying the bricks, cement, wood and books to build girls’ schools in sub-Saharan Africa.
Here are just some of the schools we’ve built as a result:
Ndemu Primary School, Kenya (2011)
Built latrines, perimeter fencing and a classroom.
Ganze Girls School, Kenya (2010 & 2011)
Built four new classrooms, three new science labs, a dormitory, library, two washing facilities and a dining hall.
Kibera School for Girls, Kenya (2008)
In the Kibera slums, where there is no government support for education, sanitation or medical care, AG built a 6-room classroom to replace the dirt floor and mud-walled classes.
