Empower 10 Million African Girls to Thrive

Overview

At Junior Achievement (JA) Africa, we believe that when girls are equipped with the right skills, mentorship, and opportunities, they become powerful drivers of economic growth and social transformation.

The 10 Million African Girls (10MAG) Campaign is a continent-wide initiative that aims to equip 10 million African girls with entrepreneurship, leadership and advocacy skills, empowering them to build thriving, sustainable communities, end extreme poverty and reduce gender-based violence by 2050.

This report highlights progress made through the campaign and the impact made possible by supporters like you.

What Your Support Made Possible

With support from our community of donors and partners, we continue to expand opportunities for girls in Africa to access work-readiness and leadership training, mentorship, and real-world entrepreneurial experiences.

Recent campaign-supported activities include:

• Training girls in leadership and entrepreneurial skills throughout several African countries.
• Hosting regular mentorship and information sessions with girls via mentors and partners in the 10MAG network.
• Introducing girls to innovation and entrepreneurship through the JA Company Program.
• Helping girls design and carry out social impact projects that tackle challenges in their communities and participate in business pitch competitions.

Impact So Far

Through the campaign and its related programs, girls are gaining access to life-changing opportunities.

Recent milestones include:

• 143 girls welcomed into the 10MAG Community, an expanding network of Africa's future female leaders.
• A growing number of industry professionals and female founders onboarded as mentors to support the girls.
• Hundreds of girls continue to gain access to mentorship, skills training, and resources through JA Africa's program and partner network.
• The campaign is steadily shaping a pipeline of confident, capable young women ready to take on leadership roles across sectors.

What Comes Next

JA Africa is continuing to expand the reach of the 10MAG campaign across the continent.

Upcoming priorities include:

• Upcoming induction for girls who have recently completed the JA Company Program.
• Supporting girls to launch and scale social impact projects in their communities. 
• Monthly mentorship sessions providing career guidance and professional development opportunities to the girls. 
• Increasing access to entrepreneurship education, digital and financial literacy. 

With continued support, we can move closer to our goal of empowering 10 million African girls to thrive.
