Stand alongside girlsOur beginning
It started with a message.
In 2021, Kate Noel in Michigan and Anne Ethel Komlaga in Ghana connected on LinkedIn. A conversation became a friendship, and a shared commitment to girls’ dignity.
Anne leads the local menstrual health work through Quantum Ideas Ghana. Kate builds the bridge from Michigan, bringing a wider community into that work.

The renovation was proposed and being scoped. A fresh update is needed. No site, local cost, timeline or fundraising figure has been confirmed for publication as of Oct 22, 2026.
