Maiden is a Global Ambassador for the empowerment of girls through education. We work with organisations who support girls to reach their full potential and create better futures. Tracy Edwards MBE inspired generations of women around the world as the skipper of Maiden, the iconic yacht that made history with the first ever all-female crew to compete in the notoriously difficult Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989/90. “Maiden changed my life and now she can help change the lives of girls who are not in education. Now more than ever this work is vital as an education is one of the biggest drivers of gender inequality and poverty” Tracy Edwards, MBE Our vision is for a world where every girl has access to 12 years of quality education; empowering them to choose their future and fulfil an equal role in business, government and society
