AMPLIFY Girls' Key Highlights for 2025!💥 No. 2️⃣
This year we launched our first wellness program designed for community-driven organization (CDO) leaders in Rwanda and Uganda. Given the constant demands of CDO work, the wellness program was our way of giving our network partners a space to acknowledge their need for care and well-being. #AMPLIFYGirls
We’re celebrating this year’s #IDG2025 with partners from the @AMPLIFY_Girls network! Under the theme #GirlsAgencyInAction, join us tomorrow at SACCA for a campaign on Girls’ Agency as we celebrate girls leading change in communities!
Sweden triumphs, Rwanda shines!
Bra jobbat Jakob Söderqvist for securing the GOLD in the Men’s U23 ITT!
As Rwanda proudly hosts this historic moment, I feel double pride:
🇸🇪 for Sweden, my second home, raising a champion!
🇷🇼 for Rwanda, my heart, my beloved homeland showcasing its magic and uniqueness to the world!
To see our hills echo with the sound of victory and our roads welcome champions like you!
More to come. The wheels of greatness are turning!

Here's a sneak peek into the sessions at the wellness retreat last week with the Founders and CDO Leaders of our partner organizations in Rwanda.
The program is our way of creating a safe space for our network partners to reflect on the importance of their well-being and acquire tools to help them build a culture of wellness for themselves and their organizations.

From fun activities🌟, thought-provoking exercises🎨, and deep conversations on mental health and well-being, for the past three days, leaders from our partner community-driven organizations in Rwanda have had the opportunity to equip themselves with tools⚙️ to integrate well-being into their work and life.
Thank you to our Rwanda CDO leaders and the @healing_uganda team, and Dr. @TabithaMpamira from Mutera Global Healing, for facilitating the sessions.

After years of wonderful work and dedication, our Network Director, @AnikaJdKe, had her last day at AMPLIFY Girls this week.
"It is with gratitude and honor that I move on from AMPLIFY Girls," shared Anika. "Joining the organization at the height of COVID, I worked hard to master the art of building, expanding, and sustaining a thriving network of partners. I move on with the knowledge that I helped AG to flourish. I carry with me a deeper understanding of agency and the hope that women all over the world will stand in their truths. I hold great reverence for the girls I mentored in the AG fellowship, and to them I say - you will all be great. And to our network partners - may the spirit of intentional collaboration guide you to stay and invest in what we've built!"
Please join us in wishing Anika well and celebrating both her legacy with AMPLIFY and her next steps to come!
