Empowering Girls. Transforming Communities. Securing the Future.
About Us
In many marginalized communities in Tanzania, girls face multiple barriers—limited access to education, early marriage, poverty, and harmful cultural practices.
GEPaN was founded to break this cycle.
We place girls at the center of development by addressing their needs holistically—education, protection, health, and economic empowerment.
Our Approach
We use a rights-based and community-driven approach:
- Engage families, leaders, and institutions
- Promote behavior change and awareness
- Strengthen local systems for protection and support
- Build sustainable opportunities for women and girls
- Equity & Inclusion – Every girl matters
- Dignity & Rights – Protecting human rights always
- Community Ownership – Solutions led by communities
- Integrity – Transparency and accountability
- Sustainability – Long-term impact over short-term gains
