The Girls Empowerment Program is designed to empower girls between the ages of 9 and 19 by helping them understand and claim their rights to education, health, and economic opportunities. As a committed children’s rights NGO and child rights organization, we work tirelessly to challenge and eliminate harmful practices such as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), child marriage, and teenage pregnancy.
Through this initiative, CDF contributes directly to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — specifically Goal 3 (Good Health & Well-being), Goal 4 (Quality Education), and Goal 5 (Gender Equality). Our mission goes beyond awareness; we actively build the confidence, knowledge, and leadership skills of girls and young women so they can become advocates for change in their communities.
Using peer-to-peer education, community mobilization, and bold advocacy efforts, we empower young girls to speak up, lead, and shape a future free from violence and discrimination. As an NGO for children’s welfare and a leader in girls’ rights advocacy in Tanzania, we are proud to promote gender equality, drive youth empowerment programs, and support initiatives that focus on protecting vulnerable children across the country.
