Our Projects
SRHR + Menstrual Health
Every girl deserves informed choices.
We create safe, inclusive spaces for young people to learn about their sexual and reproductive health rights. We are committed to dismantling taboos and building a generation of girls who are empowered to take charge of their bodies.
Inclusion is a right, not a favor.
Technology
Digital tools, real-world change.
We are narrowing the gender digital divide by training girls in AI, robotics, blockchain, and safe internet use. Our programs turn girls into tech innovators—building confidence, boosting career pathways, and using digital power for social good.
STEM has no postcode—bring it to her.
Skilling + Creative Arts
Creativity as a tool for justice.
Art can be a form of protest, storytelling, or therapy. We provide refugee girls and women with mentorship, platforms to express, earn, and advocate—combining digital art, spoken word, and crafts with social change.
Paint, speak, and write your way to justice.
Early Marriages + Pregnancy
Her future is not for sale.
We work to prevent child marriage and pregnancy through education, mentorship, and community transformation. By equipping girls with knowledge and giving them safe spaces to grow, we’re changing the narrative— one voice at a time.
Let’s talk, change, and protect our girls.
GBV + VAWG
Protection. Empowerment. Justice.
Our GBV programs use both grassroots advocacy and tech innovation to prevent and respond to violence. From digital safety training to emergency shelter referral tools, we’re creating survivor-centered solutions and building safer communities for all.
Let’s talk, change, and protect our girls.
Refugees
Safeguarding rights of refugees.
This includes providing physical and legal protection from violence and preventing forced return to their home country (non-refoulement). We ensure refugees have access to basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare, and a path towards durable solutions like local integration, voluntary repatriation, or resettlement.
Climate
It’s Earth day everyday.
We lead numerous efforts to combat climate change and its effects using two main strategies: climate mitigation, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and climate adaptation, which helps communities prepare for and adjust to current and future climate impacts.
Education + Sponsorships
Educating a girl changes everything.
Through sponsorships, mentorship, and school support initiatives, we’re lifting barriers to education for vulnerable girls. Our work ensures that every girl, no matter her background, has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
Civil Rights + Advocacy
Together with democracy.
We advocate for issues like equality and lack of access to services through actions such as public education, lobbying, litigation, and community organizing to ensure people are heard and treated with dignity emmpower communities to participate in decision-making processes.

Reusable Pads 4 Climate Fundraiser
Help a girl get a Reusable Pad Kit and get a tree planted
The Network Girl Tech Initiative Uganda is reaching out to poor communities and schools in Uganda to provide girls with reusable pads that are climate friendly, cheap and long lasting. We will teach the girls and their communities about, menstrual health and the taboos attached to it, the dangers of the plastics contained in the conventional pads as well as teaching them about how climate is changing and how they can be positive elements of climate action. We will plant trees in every community we go in. Donate today for a better climate.
