Our team had an amazing experience at one of East Africa’s largest Health Summits in Tanzania, which brought together 1,835 delegates from 14 countries and 394 organizations! The theme for this year, “Igniting Progress: Joining Efforts for Quality Healthcare through Public-Private Partnerships,” truly resonated with our work in Tanzania. We were honored to represent Girl Effect’s Tujibebe and host a forum on Early Childhood Development, funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Additionally, our team shared valuable insights on our ongoing projects related to HPV and Routine Immunization, supported by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. We also enjoyed connecting with everyone who visited our booth! #TheGirlEffect #Tanzania #Tujibebe

Children represent our future, and their early years significantly shape who they become. Therefore, it’s crucial for parents and caregivers to engage in responsive caregiving to foster children’s development and well-being. If you’re attending the Annual Health Summit in Tanzania from October 1st to 3rd, we invite you to join our Tujibebe team and the distinguished panel at our forum. We’ll be sharing insights from our Mzazi Hodari (courageous parent) program and discussing how we can collectively build a stronger nation by nurturing healthy children. We look forward to seeing you there! #TheGirlEffect Tanzania Health Summit

I have come to New York for #UNGA for more than a decade. And every year, it feels like more of the same: a platform for (old) (male) world leaders to make speeches and promises they are rarely able to keep, focused on subjects and crises they have rarely experienced themselves. 🌐 In contrast, spending this morning with Malala and more than 50 girl activists from around the world felt like a rush of fresh air. Together, they took world leaders to task for failing to prioritize girls in the design and content of the upcoming #SummitoftheFuture. And they reminded the crowd gathered that world leaders aren't experts in what girls want -- girls are. As Malala rightfully said, as we imagine the future world that girls will inherit, we must listen to their vision, fund their work, and follow their lead. 📣 Alongside this stunt, I'm so proud of the months of collaborative work by girls and girl-centric partner organizations that went into launching www.whatgirlswant.com today in an effort to center what girls have told us they need, want, and deserve. And I'm so grateful for the brilliant, creative partnership of Meagan Bond and Sophie Lucas + the sidewalk art from Chalk Back who helped bring the girls' vision to life. 💻

We are delighted to be honored at this year’s Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner. As we reflect on the past 15 years, we are incredibly proud of our team and community of young people who work every day to unleash girls’ potential.

Through our media and chatbots, we help girls navigate their adolescence so they have more positive relationships with their significant others and their bodies. When armed with the right information, they can then make the best decisions for their health and futures. #TheGirlEffect #WorldSexualHealthDay #SexualHealthDay #sexualhealth #srhr #srh #chatbot #AIchatbot #wshd2024 #positiverelationships
