1.
OBJECTIVE:
Girl Effect pioneers an integrated brand approach that reframes the value of
girls and shapes new social norms that break the cycle of poverty.
We want to help
create a ‘new normal’ for girls. A world in which girls are not held back from
reaching their full potential:
either by themselves, their families or their
communities. A world in which girls can stay in school, get access to health
services, get married and have children when they choose, realise their
economic potential and their dreams: because they demand it and because the others
in their lives demand it, for them too.
Through the latest
ideas in branding and technology, we’ve developed a new kind of brand. A brand
that attracts, connects and empowers girls at scale and changes the way
millions of people think, feel and act towards them.
Ni Nyampinga (the
beautiful girl inside and out, who makes good decisions) is Rwanda’s first
youth brand, aimed at inspiring and enabling Rwandan girls to be future
leaders. The brand is dynamic, aspirational, dignified, and optimistic and
embraces the values and richness of Rwandese culture. Launched by Girl Effect
Rwanda in 2011, Ni Nyampinga currently consists of a quarterly magazine and
weekly radio show that is by girls for girls and reaches a national audience.
The content is
designed to inspire self-belief as well as provide practical and enabling
information that can be used every day in girl’s lives. We see Ni Nyampinga as
being at the forefront of building the creative industries in Rwanda
