We Are Purposeful

Purposeful is an Africa-rooted global hub for girls’ and young feminists organising and leadership. We believe that another world is not only possible, it is already being built right here and now, in the ways that girls and young feminists are organising with each other, imagining with each other, pushing us all a little further towards liberation.

Mission

We resource girls and young feminists priorities in nearly every region of the world. Their priorities are our priorities. This is often a combination of gender-based violence, education, economic opportunity, climate crisis, and ensuring civic spaces stay open.

Programme Areas

Two of our most innovative and distinguishing characteristics are 1) our highly participatory grant-making model that ensures resources reach those most impacted and 2) our inclusive accompaniment model which ensure our grantee partners, who have multiple intersecting vulnerabilities, have with wrap around support.
