We’re a creative non-profit empowering girls to change their lives. Started by the Nike Foundation, we are experts in media, tech, brand and international development: a unique mix of skills that we use to solve global problems in a different way. We work across the world in the places where girls are marginalised and vulnerable. We create for young people in ways they love and interact with. And it’s all delivered through the media and mobile tech they use every day – from apps that build skills, to TV dramas that explore vital issues, to magazines written by girls. With our partners, we currently reach 50 million people across Africa and Asia. Our work is helping girls to express themselves, value themselves, and build the relationships they need.
