We Seek To Create Safe Spaces for Women and Girls. It's safe here.

Our Origins Story

Girl Grandeur Zimbabwe was founded in 2013 as a social club for girls and women in hopes that it would address the lack of an informal club for women to just come together and have fun and build friendships. This club was to help women to share their experiences and advise each other on their respective grievances. Since then, we have leveraged the power of new media to become digital storytellers showcasing women’s authentic stories and highlighting their plight. We believe in the power of stories to bring about the change that we want.

What We Do

Girl Grandeur Zimbabwe informs community stakeholders including policymakers about girls’ needs locally and nationally through storytelling. The organisation educates the masses about critical issues facing girls through edutainment. The founders were concerned about the unique issues that were plaguing young girls in this digital era and they realised that these were different from the conventional issues that are addressed by NGOs and women’s organisations. They felt that young girls needed a recreational space that would be fun and beneficial at the same time.

Our Mission

Girl Grandeur’s mission is to create safe spaces (online and offline) for the well-being of women and girls in Zimbabwe.

Our Vision

Girl Grandeur aims to build the first wellness centre in Zimbabwe for women and girls to learn, play, work and build safely.

Our Goal

To be a platform for women of all ages to come together, share ideas, opportunities and have dialogues about women’s issues.

It's time to tell our own stories as women. Let's talk about it, so that we can actually do something about it.
