What happens in South Africa on World AIDS Day?

We are GGMSA, GlobalGirl Media South Africa, a non-profit that has powerful global sisters. Our international umbrella organization was born right here in SA. Global filmmakers and journalists saw the need for girls’ voices to be heard during the 2010 Soccer World Cup. They formed GlobalGirl Media which continues to harness the power of digital media to empower young women around the world. Together we are a global force for change.

In South Africa, we have a very important role to play as the only sister organization in Africa. We are determined to be a beacon for young women whose time has come to be boldly heard. We believe they have listened long enough.

Our vision is to continually accelerate and upscale our ability to powerfully transform the lives of young women through media.

Our mission is to be an energetic, curious, passionate, and nurturing team that allows young women to learn, create and thrive.
