She Has a Story.
Give Her a Stage.
Staging Her brings extraordinary young women from developing countries to the United States — training, performing, and returning home as leaders who spark lasting change.
Where Performance Becomes a Vehicle for Change
Staging Her is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that envisions a world where young women from developing countries rise beyond barriers, harnessing the transformative power of performance to tell their stories, defy expectations, and inspire change. Through training and live performance in the United States, we create stages where their voices are heard — and these women return home not just as artists, but as leaders.
"What I enjoy most about performing is that I can be the voice of the voiceless."
Marietou — Senegal"Once I get this opportunity, I will be a pioneer to girls in my community."
Tihunzer — Ethiopia"The circus is a place where I can be myself — or anyone I want to be."

From Selection to Transformation
We work with social circus and performance organizations — including Palestinian Circus School, Circus Zambia, Sencirk, Arba Minch, Cirquenciel, and Circus Ramba — to identify talented women ready to lead in their communities.
Each participant spends two months in the U.S. — intensive training, performance creation, a tour across Colorado, cultural exchange, and professional development that transforms careers.
These women return home not just as artists, but as teachers, role models, and community leaders — creating a ripple effect that empowers the next generation to dream without limits.
