About the AIM Program
The Mastercard Foundation Accelerating Impact for Young Women (AIM) in Partnership with BRAC is equipping 2 million adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) with age-appropriate entrepreneurship, employability, and life-skills training, as well as the tools to start and scale their own businesses. The nine-year program (2021-2030) applies BRAC’s proven model using microfinance, youth empowerment, agriculture, education and skills development to improve lives and livelihoods. It currently operates in seven African countries: Sierra Leone, Liberia, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana, and Kenya. Based on the AGYW age, needs, and circumstances, AGYW are placed on one of two pathways in the AIM program: an education pathway or a livelihood pathway.

About the AIM Education Pathway
The AIM Education pathway is designed to increase access to and completion of quality secondary education for adolescent girls, aged 12-17, across the AIM countries: Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Uganda. The program seeks to achieve three core objectives: (1) to empower 400,000 adolescent girls by increasing their agency, voice, and life skills; (2) to support adolescent girls to complete at least lower secondary school; and (3) to improve gender-responsive education in at least 2,000 secondary schools, positively impacting an estimated 2.4 million students.
This AIM education pathway is closely aligned with the Mastercard Foundation’s strategic priorities under its Young Africa Works initiative, particularly the emphasis on improving the quality and accessibility of secondary education to better prepare young people for meaningful work. Through a set of integrated interventions, AIM Education targets structural and social challenges that often hinder girls’ education—including financial barriers, inadequate infrastructure, undertrained teachers, harmful gender norms, lack of community support, and weak school governance systems.
