ABOUT US
Global Learning for Sustainability
GLS is a girls’ and young women , youth-led Organization founded in 2015 to respond to the growing number of youth whose inability to develop life skills is the major cause of challenges they face. At the height of poor life skills youth cannot address their challenges, some, beyond their control-and yet others are directly under their control. GLS later reviewed its strategy to address sustainable challenges aligned to SDGs 4,5 & 13.
