Established in 2015 in the Western region of Uganda, GTLA is a girls' leadership incubator. GTLA believes that when girls are empowered to become leaders, they not only stand up for themselves but for their peers. The organisation focuses on building the skills of young girl leaders aged 13- 30 years in schools and colleges through training and mentoring, enabling them to run for school office, introduce gender transformative policies once elected, and address the harmful patriarchal systems in their school communities.
