Girl MOVE's mission is to break the planned cycle of poverty girls and women face by empowering a new generation of changemakers through mentorship, storytelling, sisterhood circles and problem-solving experiences co-led by different generations.

We strive for ensuring women and girls have fair access to education and opportunities to actively participate in society, contributing with their talent to their country's development. In Mozambique, 48% of girls marry early, 41,5% get pregnant before 18, only 31% transition to secondary school and 2% complete university. A woman is 70% likely to become a single mother before turning 30. The absence of female reference models in all areas of society is at the root cause of this cycle of planned poverty, perpetuated with each generation, as sociocultural norms limit women to the roles of wife and motherhood. Girl MOVE's impact approach is based on developing new female reference models and connecting/ multiplying them through mentorship & sisterhood circles that create a virtuous/continuous cycle of positive change and impact.
