Design Specifications

The Girl Effect Mobile is a mobile media network that was created to explore how mobile technologies could amplify and enhance efforts to reach and empower adolescent girls, building evidence and producing open source, replicable tools in the process. The app uses polls, profiles, and games to connect girls and learn from them. It also teaches them how to build a CV and digital tools such as mobile savings and virtual mentorship.
