Inspiring Girls International Global Report Summary 2022

Thanks to generous support from donors like you, Inspiring Girls had a hugely succesful year, coming out of the difficulties we all faced from 2020/2021 lockdowns with local covid restrictions having had an especially disruptive impact on schools and children's access to education around the world. Join us in celebrating everything that you helped us to achieve across our Inspiring Girls network in 2022.

Last year, our amazing global network achieved the following:

Reached 18,400 girls
Delivered 915 events
Registered 701 new schools into the network

At Inspiring Girls HQ, we were delighted to welcome to new country teams; Slovakia and The United Kingdom, alongside a new cohort of Young Ambassadors, who joined us in October. The Young Amabassador Network continues its success as we develop the alumuni to join our mission long-term! You can hear from one of our wonderful Young Ambassadors here:

"Being an Inspiring Girls Young Ambassador in 2021/2022 has made me feel so much more confident. Representing my entire country has made me feel so capable and that I can do anything! I will be grateful to have had this opportunity for the rest of my life!!"

Anonymous, 15, from Italy.

Also in Autumn 2022, we were so excited to be asked to join an out-of-this-world iniatitive with our global partner, Barbie Mattel! Around International Day of The Girl (11th October) we participated in an initiative with Barbie and the European Space Agency to engage more girls around the world in STEM subjects. The incredibly impressive astronaut (who is ESA's only female astronaut!) answered questions from girls on earth, all the way from the International Space Station! The iniaitive received global news media coverage and we hope that more girls around the works were inspired to pursue STEM subjects! Other exciting campaigns contiuned, such as our #ThisLittleGirlsIsMe campaign, engaging more and more women to become role models by sharing their career pathways and personal journeys that got them to where they are today.

We are deeply appreciative to everyone who lends support to our work, whether that be through donating time to speak with girls or important funds to help us to sustain our programmes. To end this report, we wanted to share a lovely quote from one of the girls who has participated in our work, thanks to your support. Please continue following our journey and sharing our mission amongst your networks! Thank you again for your hugely important support this past year!

"Inspiring Girls is important because I believe that in our society today it is essential to have an organisation like this to help empower girls around the world. We need to encourage girls to believe that they can do anything they set their minds to and believe in themselves so they can have big ambitions for the future!"

Maria, aged 14, from Colombia.

Join us in celebrating everthing we have achieved last year across the Inspiring Girls network.

Inspiring Girls International Summer 2022 Update

By Kat Khoury | Partnerships Director

Creative Workshop 1

Hello!

Firstly, as always, a very warm thank you from the Inspiring Girls International team for all of your support that helps us to continue and expand our projects around the world, so that we are able to reach hundreds more girls around the world through our amazing country teams!

It has been a very busy period for Inspiring Girls HQ and with our Inspiring Girls local teams this summer. You will find some of our updates below:

We are absolutely delighted to have been selected as a partner on the Archewell Foundation's Archetypes' podcast, you can read more about the podcast series here: https://archewell.com/audio/archetypes/ where you can listen to the inspiring first episode with none other than the global icon Serena Williams!
This summer has seen many of our local teams deliver on partnership activities such as inspiring and creative workshops with Mattel Barbie ambassadors in Italy, Brazil and Poland. We also worked with companies such as Blackrock to deliver financial literacy for girls aged 15+ in the form of a workshop series, to educate and empower girls about their personal finance and to better understand what credit is and how bank work etc!
In other news, we are about to get underway to start the annual recruitment of our 2022/2023 Young Ambassadors! Our Young Ambassadors are incredible young girls/women, who take on this important role to speak to their peers about what Inspiring Girls does, and then feedback to us about the issues girls face in their country. They also do wonderful activities with us, such as interviews with role models and other inspiring women, which can be shared on social media, and they write blogs about their experiences. We are so grateful to our outgoing cohort of Young Ambassadors! We will share updates on the new cohort in our next update
We are VERY excited to announce that we are soon to launch the Inspiring Girls campaign in Slovakia! We look forward to sharing more news on their activities with you in the next quarter.

Thank you for all the support we receive from you all! We would not be able to deliver our mission without such crucial support - so on behalf of all the girls that we help round the world in 28 countries, thank you!

With gratitude,

Kat

Inspiring Girls International Spring 2022 Update

By Kat Khoury | Partnerships Director

IG Country Teams' #BreakTheBias Photos

It has been a busy start of the year for Inspiring Girls International and our 28 Country Teams! Thank you for all of your support, with your kind donations to our crowdfunder, we have been able to bring more Role Models in front of young girls, to inspire and empower them to achieve whatever they want to in life.

International Womens Day 2022

This International Womens Day - Inspiring Girls teams around the world stood up to join the international call to #BreaktheBias. We were and remain united in our call for a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. We are globally connected in imagining a gender equal world that is diverse and inclusive. And beyond International Women's Day, we work with partners and generous supporters like you to continue to #BreaktheBias in our communities, our schools or educational settings and in our work places.

New Corporate Partnerships Launches

Since the start of the year, Inspiring Girls International has launched three new, exciting global corporate partnerships, with Mattel, Blackrock and Bank of New York Mellon Investment Management. Each of the new partners are generously supporting various events, bespoke workshops, Financial Clubs and Video Hub activities across Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. We look forward to updating you later in the year with just some of the exciting activities due to take place, to expand the horizons of young girls around the world to inspire them to aim high!

Young Ambassador Network

Our 2021/2022 Young Ambassador Network cohort have all been super busy this year; the girls have been involved in some interesting recent activities such as interviewing role models and writing their blog articles on topics that are of importance to them in each country. We will share more from our Young Ambassadors in our next report.

Thank you so much for your generous support - each donation you make helps us to raise the aspirations of more girls around the world, and raises their confidence to free them from gender steretypes. We couldn't do this without you, thank you!
