The International Girls Academy's mission is to unite, uplift, and empower through the instruction and practice of the Nguzo Saba, aka The Seven Principles, created by Dr. Muluana Karenga. The seven principles of The International Girls Academy are: Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith. By embedding the Nguzo Saba into our everyday lives, they strive to create a positive and open-minded society. Through the Nguzo Saba, The International Girls Academy will empower our girls to understand that they don't need to be given a seat at the table. They can create their own.
