An official Girl Up Chapter
Born From a Moment of Uncertainty
Five years ago, Jacinta R.A.D. Dzagli, a 20-year-old quantity surveying student from Ghana, dreamed of inspiring African girls to break barriers in male-dominated fields. In the midst of the 2020 global lockdown — a time of rising gender-based violence and school dropouts — her vision of a gender-sensitive industry evolved into a movement for survival and empowerment.
After discovering the Girl Up Virtual Leadership Summit, she moved from feeling helpless to taking action, rallying 7 friends to create a safe space that would eventually become Mission Queens Girl Up Ghana.
Today, what began as a moment of uncertainty has transformed into a national club that has empowered over 600 girls. Through our flagship Ghana Mobile STEM Bootcamp and our “I am her, She is me”philosophy, we are bridging the gender gap and refining the “perfect queen” in every girl. With over 2,000 followers and the support of our members, we continue to prove that every girl can make the world a better place, regardless of her circumstances.
Our Mission
To educate, expose and redefine the perfect queens in our members by making them aware of critical issues while ensuring society's recognition.
Our Vision
To be globally referenced as a Ghanaian space where queens are groomed to facilitate a better society where every lady thrives and explores her fullest potential.
Our Core Values
Service
We show up — consistently and selflessly — for the girls and communities we serve, putting purpose before personal gain.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest standard in everything we do, because the girls we serve deserve nothing less.
Advocacy
We speak boldly on behalf of girls' rights, health, and opportunities — in classrooms, communities, and on the global stage.
Community
Lasting change is built together. We foster sisterhood, peer learning, and shared leadership at every level of our work.
