What a year it has been!
It has been a challenging year, amidst Covid-19 and political unrest, and we at Global Girl Project are grateful to have been able to continue our work all over the world. It’s been a year of growth and development for Global Girl Project: we are embarking on the writing of our very first official Annual Report which will be released at the end of February 2022 and will provide much more detail on the year that was, but to wrap up our final week in the office before we have some rest and relaxation with our loved ones we wanted to review some of the key excitements from the year.
First corporate sponsorship with the Jordan Kuwait Bank
We ran our most successful fundraiser ever, Global Girls Run the World, raising £31,000!
We were able to make our Founding Director an official full-time employee of the organisation.
We started working in Jordan and India
We launched our new Ambassador Partner Programme, the brainchild of Vanessa Boag, welcoming 15 senior level business women to our global team.
We welcomed on two new board members
We welcomed our second employee, our Programme Manager Hannah White-Steele, who joined Julia to make it two!
We launched a new round of the Blended Learning with 6 new facilitators at one time: and they all did an amazing job!
We started our work adapting our curriculum to make it safe to go back and work in Afghanistan after our programming had to stop due to the Taliban takeover.
We began work on our new Global Graduates Connect Platform, providing a safe space for the girls to learn and connect to each other to continue their leadership journey
We started development of our exciting new Global Virtual Exchange programme, the next level of leadership learning and an innovative approach to an exchange programme.
We won our first ever award, the Global Changemaker Award and will work with DesignIt to create a truly innovative online platform for our girls.
We received sponsorship from Instructure/Canvas to help us improve our online programme delivery.
All this and more in our forthcoming Annual Report. We are grateful for everything we have been able to achieve this year, and look forward to diving head first into the new year, when we return to the office on the 4th January.
Happy holidays from all of us at Global Girl Project!
