Innovation for Confidence: Why Girls Should Design Their Own Solutions

When girls create their own solutions, they become innovators — not just learners. In Metro Manila, giving young people agency helps them take ownership of challenges and come up with practical strategies that fit their lives.

What parents can do:

• Involve your daughter in decision-making at home — from planning meals to organizing family activities.

• Ask, “What do you think we could do differently?” to encourage problem-solving.

• Celebrate creativity, even in small solutions.
