Fundraising Initiatives

Since its inception in 2020, The Girls Table has worked tirelessly to increase the voice and influence of young women between the ages of 18&35. The Girls Table is an impact driven NGO whose mission is to advocate for a safe and inclusive society where girls and young women's voices are heard, respected and their priorities are reflected in local and national policies, programmes and projects. The organization prides itself in working with young women in hard-to-reach areas, marginalized and rural areas such as Tsholotsho, Madabe, Ngwanyana, Tshitshi and many other in Matebeleland North and South. TGT successfully implemented its Young Women for Elections Engagement& Participation Project (YWEEP) in 2022 by increasing their meaningful participation in electoral processes. The organization through the YWEEP, assisted 200 plus young women in Tsholotsho and Plumtree to register to vote. Young women from rural and marginalized communities are often sidelined or excluded from contributing to conversations around electoral and civic processes, The Girls Table created platforms such as TGT talk show, Her Voice, a digital magazine, Roundtable discussions (physical& WhatsApp) which had young women actively participating in. The Girls Table trained and worked with 90 ambassadors in 2022 to encourage peer to peer mobilization for voter registration. The Girls Table successfully implemented a Covid-19 project in 2022 to increase access to accurate and verified information on Covid-19 and health related issues. Through this project, the organization increased active participation of young women in rural areas in these health-related conversations. TGT also demystified and debunked myths that hindered young women from being vaccinated. To increase the voice of young women especially from rural and marginalized communities in the public discourse, the organization has created a network of young women where they drive conversations on socio-economic, political and cultural issues as podcasters. Young women are not only spectators, but they are drivers of these conversations. Young women contribute articles to the Her Voice magazine, these young women had no formal training but every month, they wrote stories about what's happening in their communities. The Girls Table has trained these young women as citizen journalists. Through its weekly radio program on Skyz Metro FM, which focuses on young women in tertiary institutions, the Girls Table reaches 50000+ listeners every week. To increase the voice of young women in the public discourse and active participation of young women in civic processes, the organization uses digital technologies/ platforms and has reached 10 000+ To ensure that young women in rural and marginalized communities have access to accurate information which enables them to make informed decisions and choices, the organization created information hubs and direct beneficiaries are 250 plus young women.
