The Shona Project

The Shona Project educates, empowers and inspires today's girls in Ireland to become tomorrow's strong, confident, and curious young women. Through school workshops, leadership programmes, and mentorship, it supports girls in navigating challenges like mindset, friendships, and self-worth. The Shona Project's Handbook offers essential advice to 40,000 young girls annually, while the Shine Festival and Shine Online provide empowering stories and resources to celebrate self-esteem. With a presence in 68% of schools, The Shona Project fosters kindness, leadership, and growth, helping teenage girls develop the skills and confidence to thrive and actively contribute to their communities and beyond.
