About
Girl Effect
Girl
Effect works to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. We do this by
connecting girls to each other and to the critical assets they need. We work to
create lasting perception change by harnessing media in innovative ways and
building social networks to develop girls’ positive perceptions of themselves
and shift how others see and value them.
We
take a girl-centred approach to the challenges they face. We know that girls
need support in multiple areas to break the cycle of poverty – focusing on
single issues will never be enough. Only a holistic approach will work, so we
developed the 5+1 Theory of Change to put this into action.
We
believe there are 5 key assets that determine a girl’s reality and 1 critical
catalyst – perception change – that inspires behaviour change that creates
empowered lives. 
The
5 key assets are: EducationHealthEconomic
Security
Safety, and Voice and Rights
When
a girl is better educated, has access to sexual and reproductive healthcare
information and services, has access and control of economic assets, is safe
from violence and exploitation, and has the capabilities and confidence to make
positive choices, she can break the cycle of poverty.
We
add the catalyst of perception change to improve awareness and
sensitivities of communities and families, and create an environment in which
girls are better able to capitalise on the five assets. Together, the 5+1
creates a virtuous cycle of change, lifting girls, their families and
communities out of poverty. 
We
currently operate in Rwanda, Nigeria and Ethiopia with headquarters in London.
About
Girl Effect Rwanda (GER)
Girl
Effect Rwanda’s mission is to enable all of Rwanda’s one million adolescent
girls (aged 10-19) to fulfil their potential. We work across four areas:
partnering with leaders to deliver for girls; developing innovations in girl
programming; working through our brand platform Ni Nyampinga to
inspire and enable girls; and generating girl-led insights and
evidence. Our work aims to encourage investments that will benefit Rwandan
girls – in systems, culture, government and industry. These investments will realise
Rwanda’s Vision 2020.
About
our branded media platform, Ni Nyampinga
Girl
Effect Rwanda uses the power of brand thinking to promote positive social norm
and behaviour change amongst girls and their communities in Rwanda.  Ni
Nyampinga is Rwanda’s first teen brand, developed by and for girls, redefining
what it means to be an adolescent girl in their community. In just three years
it has been established as a much loved and trusted brand, rooted in Rwandan
culture.  Ni Nyampinga is an idea, an identity. It’s something that both
belongs to, and is created by, Rwandan teenage girls. Translated
as “a girl who is beautiful inside and out and makes good decisions”,
the term ‘ni nyampinga’ is a potent one in Rwandan culture. 
Since
its launch as a quarterly magazine and weekly radio shows by Rwandan girl
journalists, there is a rich tale to tell about Ni Nyampinga, with some
exciting early signs of impact.
