We loan because...
We know that the empowerment of girls and women is the most effective tool for development and we are committed to initiatives focused on their advancement. Economically empowered women create a ripple effect of change for themselves, their children, and their communities. The Belinda Stronach Foundation’s Girls and Women initiative is the start of a global conversation about the economic prowess of girls and women and our commitment to creating a space where girls’ voices can be heard globally.

About us
The Belinda Stronach Foundation (TBSF) is committed to advancing human potential and achievement through individual empowerment and social change. As one of the Foundation’s pillars, TBSF Girls and Women has begun to work with the private sector and a number of national and global organizations to encourage G8 and G20 leaders to elevate the importance of political empowerment and economic freedom for girls and women in developed and developing nations. The G(irls)20 Summit brings together one girl from each of the G20 countries ten days before the official G20 Summit, with the next Summit reconvening in France this year.
