Who we are

Girl Effect is an international non-profit that builds media that girls want, trust and need.

From chat-bots to chat-shows and TV dramas to tech, our content is reaching millions of girls in Africa and Asia to make choices and changes in their lives. Igniting their confidence to act differently at a time that can define their future.

We create safe spaces for girls, sharing facts, and answering questions about health, nutrition, education, relationships and so much more. And we use innovative technology so we can reach girls at scale. We arm girls with the skills to negotiate and redefine what they are told is possible, so every girl can choose to be in control of her body, her health, her learning and livelihood.

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, her community, her country. That's the Girl Effect.

Girl Effect Kenya has an ambitious roadmap of building new and ongoing programs and campaigns under Tukisonga- our overarching platform, testing new community and digital innovations.

Through certification courses, apprenticeships, mentorship, and a digital marketplace, Tuki-Jituma will support young people—especially vulnerable youth such as teenage mothers and school dropouts—to access sustainable livelihoods in Nairobi and Migori.
