Who We Are

Girl Effect is an international non-profit that builds media that girls want, trust and need. From chatbots to chat shows and TV dramas to tech, our content helps adolescent girls in Africa, and Asia make life choices and changes.

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.

Project Background

Girl Effect is implementing two pilot projects in Kenya that place communities at the heart of transforming outcomes for adolescent girls and young women:





Child Marriage Pilot – Migori County



This pilot targets Kuria West and Nyatike sub-counties, where social, cultural, and economic factors put girls at high risk of marrying before the age of 18.

The goal is to generate learning on how digital tools and community-led conversations can help reduce child marriage in Migori and beyond.
