Today, on #InternationalDayoftheGirl, we proudly stand in solidarity with and celebrate the incredible power, resilience and leadership of girls in Africa and across the world.
We equally acknowledge the violence and suffering they continue to face- from war, genocide, climate crisis and in the face of anti-rights movements that hinder girls' progress.
Our CEO, Francoise Moudouthe, reaffirms our commitment through our #Lemlem strategy to centre girls and invest in their leadership, agency, voice and activism.

Today is the International Day of the Girl. I started my feminist journey as a girl's rights activist and that's what I will forever be. Today, on 11 October, I am torn between celebrating the power, the resilience, the creativity and the leadership of girls. And acknowledging the amount of violence, suffering and pain that girls are subjected to in Africa and around the world in the face of war. In the face of genocide, in the face of the climate crisis and in the face of the rise of anti rights movement who do not want girls to thrive. And I'm resolved to continue to do my part, including as the CEO of the African Women's Development Fund. AWDF. As part of our strategy, Lemlem has recently identified girls as a key constituency in our work. And that is because we recognize the importance not just to work on girls issues, but also to invest in girls leadership, in girls voice in girls agency, in girls activism. I'm humbled that I have the opportunity to do so, and I encourage you and all of us, especially in the philanthropic sector to invest in girl's voice, in girls Agency in girls leadership. Happy International Day of the girl.
