🌍 YOUTH SPOTLIGHT: NORAH 💜

Young people are doing BIG things and we’re here for it! 🚀

Our Girl Up EMEA Ubuntu Leader intern, Norah, is currently in Geneva, Switzerland, taking part in a Leadership programme.

But she didn’t just show up, she came with African innovation in her hands. 🤖✨

Norah is the co-founder of Zerobionic, a team creating humanoid robots that use sign language to make STEM learning more accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing learners.

Their technology has already reached 500,000+ learners globally, and now Norah is demonstrating it on an international stage, showing how their robotic arm can translate sign language in real time.

And we’re SO proud to see where she’s taking it. 💜🚀

Keep going, Norah. We’re watching! 👏🏾✨

Hills we will die on. 👀

The things we’ll keep saying, pushing for and standing behind — because girls deserve more than a seat at the table. They deserve the space, resources, opportunities and power to shape what happens next.

From meaningful youth leadership and girls gathering, to practical skills, community and joy — these are some of our non-negotiables.

What’s a hill you’ll die on? 👇🏾

🌍 CLUB SPOTLIGHT: Girl Up Elevate 🇲🇼

For World Youth Skills Day, Girl Up Elevate brought 66 young people together at Kondanani Children’s Village in Malawi for a hands-on Skills Bootcamp designed to help young people build practical and future-ready skills.

From car maintenance, photography and crocheting to public speaking, entrepreneurship and an introduction to AI, participants had the opportunity to learn, ask questions, explore new ideas and discover skills they can use in their everyday lives.

Founded by Ulemu Makolija in 2023, Girl Up Elevate continues to create opportunities for young people to learn, grow and contribute to their communities.

This is youth-led action in practice. 👏🏾

Here is some Monday motivation for you 🙂‍↕️👏🏾
