WHO WE ARE: 

Purposeful is an Africa-rooted global hub for girls’ activism. For millennia girls have played  a critical role in struggles for freedom and liberation. From Africa’s anti-colonial  movements to the Arab Spring to climate justice organizing and everything in between – their resistance has always sparked and sustained transformational change. And yet, too  often girls are separated and sidelined from resources and shut out from decision-making  spaces, their power deliberately obscured and hidden from view. Centering the political  power of young feminists across the world, we work so that girls and their allies have  access to the resources, networks, and platforms they need to power their activism and  remake the world.

As an Africa-rooted, global hub for girl activists, Purposeful works to shift the allocation of  resources, policies and programmatic practices with and for girls and young feminists  across the world. This includes re-distributing resources in highly flexible and innovative  ways, including to girls shut out from traditional banking infrastructure. We leverage  learnings from our own practice to support others to move from protectionist to power

building approaches that promote the collective liberation of girls. Working in partnership  with civil society and development communities we hold learning space, convene  practitioners, build national coalitions and co-create collective advocacy voice. Across  all that we do, we work to make girls political power visible so that their organising and  activism is resourced in healthy and sustainable ways for the long term.
