Girls' Choices Mobile App

GWI is working with Orange Device Group to develop a mobile app that empowers girls to access information that will inspire them to complete secondary school and transition to tertiary education or professional work. The app will provide immediate, easy access to material empowering girls to explore possibilities in their lives beyond school. The app is initially being developed with content driven by a focus group of teenage girls in Kigali, Rwanda, with the scope for replicability in other countries. The target age group for the app is 14-18. The Girls’ Choices app will provide girls with a tool to explore careers and identify those that match their skills and interests. The Girls' Choices Mobile App seeks to increase the number of girls in Rwanda completing secondary education and transitioning to tertiary education or professional work, to empower girls to understand the decisions which affect their lives, and to provide secondary school girls with access to information for their professional development after school, in the workplace or further/higher education.
