Edith Namukanga is a third year student at the University of Zambia pursuing a
degree in development studies. She is the founder of Girls Unite, a non-governmental
organisation which targets girls from grade ten to grade twelve encouraging
them to be the change they want to see.
Her
compassion to help stems from the fact that she was bullied in secondary
school, negatively impacting her self-esteem. Through guidance, counselling and
the support from her loved ones, she overcame her doubts, her fears and her insecurities.

is a brave, driven and self-motivated young lady committed to the plight of
girls throughout the world and making a difference one school at a time. She is a keen believer in addressing issues
girls face head on and helping girls one school at a time.
