Who We Are


Girl Effect is an international non-profit that builds media that girls want, trust and need. From chatbots to chat shows, and TV dramas to tech, our content helps adolescent girls in Africa and Asia make choices and changes in their lives.


We create safe spaces for girls, sharing facts and answering questions about health, nutrition, education, and relationships, empowering girls with the skills to negotiate and redefine what they are told is possible “for a girl”.


Our reach is 50 million and counting. And we’re using technology to reach girls at scale so every girl can choose to be in control of her body, her health, her learning and her livelihood.


Because when a girl unlocks her power to make different choices that change her life, it inspires others to do so too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts her family, community, and country.


That’s the Girl Effect.


Background


With the support of MSD for Mothers, Girl Effect will design, launch, and implement an 18-month project to develop a new digital product or products that will help connect young women in Kenya to sexual and reproductive health services and products (oral contraception, IUDs, implants, consultations with gynaecologist and more. Digital technologies have opened up new ways for women to access these products and services online. However, too many barriers still prevent young women from taking advantage of these options.


Girl Effect aims to bring together young women, service providers and other key stakeholders to co-create and test prototypes and products for a new digital product or products that will work with existing platforms to expand access to healthcare across Kenya. Through this work, we aim to raise new funding to take successful products to market at scale.


Context of the Role


Girl Effect has begun a co-design process that draws on girls’ lived experiences, particularly their journeys to access SRH services and products, and harnesses their creativity and determination. The process is also designed to equip girls with the skills and tools needed to sit at the table with donors, providers, and tech experts to build the tools and services they want.


We’re seeking a consultant to support developing content for our prototype concepts. The content will be provided in Swahili and/or English and developed in partnership with a global human-centred design team at Girl Effect, responsible for designing and developing the final MVP.

  • Assist brand development experts in developing our new Kenyan youth brand’s tone and voice.
