Global Fund For Girls

The Global Fund For Girls is the world’s first Africa-rooted global fund for girl activists and heir allies, resourcing girls resistance across the globe. It aim is to resourced  in healthy and sustainable ways that genuinely works for girls at the unique intersections of age, gender and other identities.

The objective of the fund is to re frame power in philanthropic practice, showing what is possible when girls are put at the center of resource distribution. We reimagine grant-making practice so that girls can define and determine resource distribution in the service of their own visions, goals and dreams of freedom. We are grounded in feminist principles of solidarity, reciprocity and collective learning, we are reimagining what it means to hold movement resources in deep relationship and with deep accountability to girls.
