Every number tells the story of a girl whose life has been changed. Here is our story so far.
Black Sisters in STEM

United Nations Girl Up Foundation
UN Girl Up Global Leadership Forum

Launched the first physical STEM outreach in the Ashanti Region following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
Evolved into a national movement with 70 active volunteers and established presence in JHS and SHS levels across Ghana.
Real journeys from the young women who make Mission Queens Girl Up Ghana what it is.
Leadership Development
“It was slow, beautiful and intentional — like a seed finding its way through soil. I grew through conversations that opened my mind and a sisterhood that held me when I needed it most.”
Leadership Development
“MQGU challenged me to do things I initially dreaded. After one year, I was appointed Head of People and Culture. This is the place to grow, to be empowered, and to give back.”
Community Outreach
“Being part of a club dedicated to uplifting the girl child affirmed that change is possible — and that I can be a living example of it.”
Ghana Mobile STEM Bootcamp
“I helped organise STEM Boot Camps that quietly told girls: what society labels 'impossible' is often just unexplored potential. Seeing their faces light up — that is why we do this.”
SRHR Education & Advocacy
“Advocacy is not about speaking louder — it is about speaking truth with evidence and empathy. Mission Queens taught me that, and I carry it everywhere.”
Leadership Development
“I doubted myself when they asked me to lead. But the club's leaders saw potential in me that I could not see in myself. That changed everything.”
Community Outreach
“When girls are given opportunities, they don't just rise — they lift entire communities with them. I am honoured to be part of that rise.”
Leadership Development
“Five years ago I walked into a room and did not know I was walking into one of the defining moments of my life. This club did not just give me skills — it gave me a voice, a vision, and a village.”
