Theme: Supporting African Girls Education and Empowerment


Know why we started the Girls Empowerment and Education Fund to support African girls

Girl Child Network Worldwide is now a fully established charity in the UK and serves girls in Africa with support from everyone in the world.In 2009 to 2010 we had a dream to set up a fund and then a number of individuals donated in cash and kind and the first ever Girls Empowerment and Education Fund raised over £130 000 since 2009.This gave us the encouragement that this is not a dream but a dream come true.We are so happy that over the year some individuals have gone on to donate as little as 2pounds per month towards the fund which is now a life saver for girls in Zimbabwe and Africa.As each of our donors come on board we will add them and it is hoped the fund will grow and girls lives will be changed.A lot of times girls die because of a dollar.

In many countries today, girls lack the freedoms and rights that automatically accrue to boys. Discrimination toward girls mixes with the harsh realities of survival into a dangerous alchemy that prevents girls’ full development as human beings. In large numbers, girls are subject to sexual abuse and harassment, HIV/AIDS, domestic and military violence, trafficking into sexual slavery, and the denial of schooling.


Girl Child Network Worldwide believes that our empowerment model, built in Zimbabwe, having reached some 300,000 girls, can be applied in many places. It’s based on our experience that when girls receive fundamental support and encouragement from each other, gain an education, and learn their legal and human rights, they overcome a range of challenges, growing to fulfil their potential as human beings and as young leaders.


Girl Child Network Worldwide is the only organisation to give general support funds to individual girls in communities where they lack the financial and human resources to mobilise and organise.
