About Us
Girls’ Empowerment Program and Network (GEPaN) is a non-governmental organization founded in 2008 and registered in 2013, based in Arusha, Northern Tanzania. GEPaN promotes and protects the rights of girls, particularly from marginalized pastoralist communities, through early intervention, education, protection, skills training, and economic empowerment.
GEPaN works to eliminate gender discrimination, harmful traditional practices, and social and economic inequalities. By placing girls at the center of its programs, GEPaN expands access to education, improves school retention, and advances equity, social justice, and sustainable development. Empowering girls and women enables them to combat poverty, HIV/AIDS, and harmful practices while actively participating in community and national development.
