Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Girl Effect Full time

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 20 million and counting, and we use technology to reach girls at scale so every girl can choose to be in control of her body, health, learning and 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.
