TWST4Girls Empowers Houston’s Young Women to Lead with Purpose, Confidence & Direction

Founder Sydney Ealy uplifts underrepresented youth with mentorship, life skills, and purpose. What started as a small park gathering has grown into a powerhouse program serving over 1,500 girls. Her mission: build confident young women, one life-changing experience at a time.

In this video from February/March 2025, ESSIKADO highlights TWST4GIRLS’ transformative effort in Essikado, Ghana. By installing a mechanized borehole at Nana Nketsia Basic School, the school’s long-standing water issues were resolved—providing reliable access to clean water for students and staff. The footage shares first-hand testimonials and shows the system in action, underscoring how sustainable infrastructure can improve health, hygiene, and learning outcomes in underserved communities.

The TWST mentorship program empowers girls to become confident, well-rounded young women. Through life skills, guidance, and support, they develop the self-sufficiency needed to thrive. Our girls grow into skilled, successful leaders with bright, purpose-driven futures.
