Who We Are
Girl
Effect is an international non-profit that builds media that girls
want, trust and need. From chatbots to chat shows, TV dramas to tech,
our content helps adolescent girls in Africa, and Asia make choices and
changes in their lives. We create safe spaces for girls, sharing facts
and answering questions about health, nutrition, education, and
relationships, empowering girls with the skills to negotiate and
redefine what they are told is possible “for a girl”.

Our
reach is 50 million and counting. And we’re using technology to reach
girls at scale so every girl can choose to be in control of her body,
her health, her learning and her livelihood.
Because when a girl
unlocks her power to make different choices that change her life, it
inspires others to do so too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts
her family, community, and country.
That’s the Girl Effect.
