Girl Effect Accelerator

The Girl Effect Accelerator is an accelerator program dedicated to ventures improving the lives of adolescent girls in poverty. It connects selected ventures with world-class mentors, strategic financing, and a global network of support to rapidly increase their positive impact. The program focuses on ventures that are positioned to benefit millions of girls in poverty, aiming to scale their efforts effectively. The Girl Effect Accelerator is part of Girl Effect, an independent non-profit organization that uses media and technology to empower girls to change their lives. Girl Effect operates in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, Ethiopia, India, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and Tanzania, working to improve girls' health, education, and livelihoods. The organization collaborates with various partners to create girl-centered communications and drive demand for services like the HPV vaccine among adolescent girls. Through these initiatives, Girl Effect demonstrates the power of girls as change-makers and the importance of providing them with the necessary information and resources to make informed choices and build better futures for themselves and their communities. The Girl Effect Accelerator, launched in November 2014, is a partnership between the Nike Foundation and Unreasonable Group.
