Girl Effect Rwanda commends the many institutions involved in the development and welfare of young girls. With the support of Gavi, the Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization, the Ministry of Health through the Rwanda Biomedical Center, and in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, through the Rwanda Education Board (REB), we have prepared an easy way for young girls to access information that supplements their formal studies: the Ni Nyampinga content is on REB E-learning Platform.
Our goal is to empower girls to own their future, learn about reproductive health, avoid sexual abuse and understand the importance of taking vaccines such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and good nutrition from childhood to adolescence.
They will find stories that build their confidence, especially since Ni Nyampinga means ‘a beautiful girl inside and out’ and one who makes healthy decisions.
Girls who feel empowered make good decisions, are healthy and happy and have the confidence to plan for their future, together with their brothers and wider family.
Purpose: To spark the curiosity of Ni Nyampingas about the toolkit, and to help them discover the topics in the handbook.
Duration: 10 minutes
Guide:
The facilitator is tasked with helping Ni Nyampingas understand the introduction to the handbook. The facilitator can read it themselves or ask one of the Ni Nyampingas to read it out loud for others to follow.
Afterward, ask Ni Nyampingas to list the things they noticed in the introduction, and encourage them to share what it means to them and their lives. For example, they might say that they saw the nice colours, a drawing of a girl welcoming people, etc.
The facilitator should also ask one of the Ni Nyampingas to read aloud the handbook introduction,
and then ask the girls to share what they think is the purpose of the handbook. Next, ask them if they have any questions. Tell them that you are starting a journey together and that you have to work hard to ensure it is a success. Ask the Ni Nyampingas to create a journal that they will use to record what surprised them or their personal goals after learning about a certain topic.
Finally, ask them to go to the next topic, and give them time to absorb everything they see.

Tune in to the Ni Nyampinga radio show on Radio
Rwanda and RC Huye every Wednesday at 6:15 PM
and every Saturday at 2 PM! Text to 1019 and tell us
what you think of the show. We can’t wait to hear
from you!
Purpose: The theme “STAYING SAFE” was prepared to help Ni
Nyampingas analyse anything that might be a danger to them, and
enable them to discuss and choose strategies to help them deal with any
problems they might face.
Duration: 30 minutes
It is important to note that time management is not the sole purpose here as this is not a lecture. It is important to effectively manage the time so that girls don’t get bored, but it is more important to observe how Ni Nyampingas express their curiosity and willingness to contribute to the discussion. By giving enough time, they will feel relaxed and be more likely to speak up. This session should last approximately 30 minutes.
WHAT IS GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE?
Gender-based violence (GBV) refers to any action done to a person that brings harm or distress to them because of that person’s perceived or actual gender and/or sex (because they are a girl or a boy, a man or a woman). Evidence shows that many people do not even realise that they are victims of gender-based violence or are GBV perpetrators (a person can abuse another person without realising that what they are doing is abuse and criminal). Gender-based violence can also cause long-lasting trauma. That is why young people must learn about GBV. Doing so will help to build a safe Rwanda free from gender-based violence

PURPOSE
Encourage Ni Nyampingas to value knowledge that’s not in books or the classroom courses they are taught at school, because in life people need to know more than what they’ve learned in school.
Duration: 30 minutes
The goal is not for Ni Nyampingas to become professional creative designers (those who want to, will do it when they want). This space intends to give them a fun venue for them to become creative in line with their wishes and inspirations. It’s not necessary to take a lot of time since Ni Nyampingas may continue to work on whichever creative art they want, either at home or during their break time.
Dear Ni Nyampinga fans, did you know that apart from lessons you get at school, you could enjoy great times and entertaining moments with your mates? When you have fun at school, you love it even more. When you take part in different games, you get closer to your friends and mates and it helps you study better because your brain has had time to rest. You can also learn through games, or lessons that are not math and science. Ni Nyampinga is happy to bring you exciting stories of falling in love with learning.
Purpose
1. To support Ni Nyampingas to discover their talents and be able to benefit from them.
2. To encourage Ni Nyampingas to set life goals and take action to achieve them.
Duration: 40 minutes
This theme is very important as it is the age category most Ni Nyampingas are in: puberty. It is crucial to give them enough time to discuss their talents and life goals as they start dreaming about their future. Try to maximise the 40 minutes.
Propose
1. To explain to Ni Nyampingas the bodily changes and behaviours related to their reproductive health.
2. To give Ni Nyampingas sufficient knowledge so that if they make choices in their lives, they will be prepared to face any challenges that might arise - even if they are partly responsible for the problem.
3. To build confidence in Ni Nyampingas who gave birth at a young age, ensuring they can take care of themselves and their children.
Duration: 2 Hours
Due to the gravity of the subject matter, “It is Me, Myself and I,” it is important to spend enough time on it. The reproductive health of adolescents is a curious topic for many and will likely raise a lot of questions. Therefore, it is best to run this session for two hours and divide it into two or three sections..
Muraho ba Ni Nyampinga? Tuje tugira tuti: Kwigira burya ni mu mutwe! Ese ujya ubyibaza iyo ugiye kwiha intego? Iyo ushaka kuyigeraho, ubigenza ute? Ese wakora wenyine? Ese wakwihuza n’abandi? Ibi byose ni mu mutwe.

ANONYMOUS: “Aunty, I heard on the radio that when a man aged 18 years or older has sex with a girl who is under 18, it’s considered gender-based violence. What if it was the girl who initiated the sex and they both consented? Would you call it gender-based violence when no pressure or force was used?”
