Bene Madunagu and Grace Osakue, two activists for women’s empowerment, co-founded GPI in 1993. They realized it is not enough to wait until adulthood to equip women with the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to achieve their potentials; they decided it is crucial to start working with girls during adolescence, a period in which they are confronted by a host of new changes and risks. Along with Benin City, Calabar is the original home of GPI programming.
