Who We Are
Girl Effect builds youth brands and mobile platforms to empower girls to change their lives
We're a creative non-profit empowering girls to change their lives. Started by the Nike Foundation, we are experts in media, mobile, 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 places where girls are marginalised and vulnerable. We create youth brands and mobile platforms for young people in ways they love and interact with. We deliver these 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.
Context of the Role
In partnership with the Vodafone Foundation, Girl Effect has launched 'Tujibebe', a vibrant media brand for girls in Tanzania. In addition to our website, Facebook page and IVR line, we're launching a radio drama and talk show at the end of this this year. It's a pivotal time in Tujibebe's evolution and expansion, and we're looking for an exceptional social and digital content producer to take responsibility for growing and strengthening our digital platforms.
