This is a letter written by Mozambican girls with different ages, causes and backgrounds, to those who have an important role and can help them create impact. Despite the differences, all of them are moved by a strong will to contribute for a better world and lift each other up.
THE GOOD OF ALL
Big changes begin when you implement your ideas in your community. That’s how the Changemaker LAB was born. The Changemaker LAB gathers Girl MOVERS and local entrepreneurs to work together, side by side, to create impact. First in Nampula and then around Mozambique.
BOUNDARIES
In 2020, our Girls have gathered more than 60 world reference leaders and social entrepreneurs, opening doors to learning experiences, inspiration and connection towards a more sustainable world. Hold on to your seat and travel with us, pack light, because you’ll be coming back from this unforgettable experience with a whole lot of new luggage.
OPPORTUNITIES
2020 was the year when we saw the world turned upside down. Our Academy is remotely located in the world and there was no time to waste to ensure the transformation and empowerment journey with our Girls and young women. Discover here how did we connect our Girls, and especially, connect Nampula with the world!
WE PROMOTE NEW FEMALE REFERENCE MODELS AND ITS MULTIPLICATION THROUGH SISTERHOOD CIRCLES THAT EXPAND AND IMPACT THE COMMUNITY.
OUR PROGRAMS & IMPACT
ONE DAY A GIRL MOVER
ALWAYS A GIRL MOVER
SOME OF OUR GIRL MOVERS ALUMNI
“Being a Girl MOVER is being able to take risks, pursue your dreams and goals and, even when you fall (or fail), you stand up, shake and rise again. Is believing that you will achieve your dream and that the beauty of learning and achieving is in the path. I no longer dream about the conservation of the natural world. I care and make it happen everyday!”
BERTA GUAMBE | CLASS OF 2017
Program Manager at GAIN
Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition
“Awakening, freedom, faith, self-love, confidence, own voice, gathering hands and be the change. That’s how I resume my experience at Girl MOVE Academy. It’s more than a life experience. It’s a way of living.
I know now that we, women, can do whatever we want if we don’t ever stop believing and leading our own path with hope, love, joy and lots of hard work!”
OCÉLIA FERRO | CLASS OF 2018
Environmental Coordinator at CDM
Cervejas de Moçambique
“I’ve always wanted to dedicate my life to a greater purpose, to have a life full of meaning. I had the drive, just didn’t know where and how to start. When I enrolled for CHANGE my hope increased and the self-awareness and self leadership modules changed the way I saw myself – not only a drive, but the responsibility and ability to make change happen.”
