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: Education,
Health, Economic
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 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.
