Plan International is thrilled to announce that the Girls’ Fund has officially been launched and is now open for applications! This pop-up, experimental fund offers flexible funding up to $5,000 USD to groups, collectives or organisations that are participating in or are interested in participating in the UN’s Generation Equality process.

The Girls’ Fund is a collaboration between Purposeful and Plan International, with support from the Irish government, in recognition of the need to resource girls’ collective action in the Generation Equality process.

The fund is open to both registered and unregistered groups that are girl-led or centred. Only groups led by girls and young feminists under 24 years old are eligible to apply. If you have strong links with girl and young feminist groups that might be interested, we would be very grateful if you could share this opportunity with them.

The groups can check out the eligibility requirements and apply online here:

Abel Mavura is a journalist, editor, and writer whose work explores the intersections of cities, migration, and social justice. He tells stories about how people move, survive, and remake urban life under conditions of precarity, drawing on close field engagement and lived experience. Trained as a journalist at the Christian College of Southern Africa, Abel’s early work was rooted in media practice and community storytelling. Over time, his focus expanded into research and critical inquiry, allowing his writing to move fluidly between reportage, analysis, and long-form reflection. He is a graduate of Sciences Po Paris and is currently pursuing research at the University of Cambridge, where his work builds on earlier research into migration and informal housing. Abel is the author of three books, and his writing has appeared across platforms ranging from grassroots and community radio to international and policy-facing spaces. His work is grounded in clarity, ethical storytelling, and a commitment to centring voices often left out of mainstream narratives.
