How We Empower

The Six Pillars

Young women are change agents and their leadership can bring vitality, creativity, and courage that can lead to social change. They have the power to inspire and mobilize others for positive action. They can encourage the questioning of systems and beliefs that limit lives and choices. With courage, they can even confront the injustices that have been in place long before our lives began.

With their leadership, social change will not stop when the generation before us is no more, but only when peace, justice, health, human dignity, and care for the environment has been achieved everywhere, and for everyone.

The Girl Impact focuses on empowering these young women in Africa and this is achieved through our 6-Pillar Framework:

The Pillars

Self confidence

Providing outlets for girls and boys to express their feelings and emotions in a supportive and safe environment to ensure a boost of self confidence outside of The Girl Impact classroom.

Income Generation

Providing girls and women with the tools and resources they need to start their own income generating activity, which in return, produces a business that uplifts their community.

Education

Every girl has the right to receive the same level of education and opportunities for learning as a boy.

Health

Educating girls about their bodies and educating all girls, women, boys, and men about the different resources their communities should provide to ensure equal, clean, and safe health care.

Early Pregnancy

Educating girls about pregnancy and the impacts of early pregnancy on their futures, while also giving them the voice and tools to say “NO”.

Safety

Providing girls and boys with a safe environment by enforcing our Child Protection Policy.
