Girls First Initiative (GFI) is a Non-governmental organization in Tanzania focused on championing and amplifying the voices of girls at risk of sexual harassment. We seek to ensure girls’ rights are promoted by defending their right to health, education, and economic growth, which are the root causes that increase the girl’s vulnerability to sexual harassment. We ignite girls’ confidence to act differently at a time that can define their future. We create safe spaces for girls by sharing facts and answering questions about health, nutrition, education, relationships, and entrepreneurship. And we use innovative technology so we can reach girls at scale.
