Our Story
About Girl Inspiration Group
Founded in Lusaka in 2015, we exist to change the story of every girl in Zambia.
Our Mission
What We Do
"To empower vulnerable girls and children through education, protection, mentorship, advocacy and community-driven action that promotes safety, leadership and equal opportunity."
Within our groups, girls meet regularly in safe spaces where they learn decision-making, communication, and self-esteem. They receive mentorship from teachers and community leaders, and discuss real challenges openly — from peer pressure to school struggles.
Our Vision
What We Seek
"To build a Zambia where every girl is safe, educated, empowered and given equal opportunity to thrive."
We envision communities where no girl fears walking to school, where every young woman can speak out, and where opportunity is determined by potential — not gender.
What Guides Us
Our Core Values
Protection
We safeguard every girl's rights, dignity and well-being through safe spaces, protection and advocacy against harm and discrimination.
Equality & Inclusion
No girl is left behind. We champion equal access to education, health, and opportunity regardless of background.
