The Shona Project is the national organisation driving positive impact to support and empower the new generation of women. We aim to educate, empower and inspire today’s teenage girls (13-19)  in Ireland to become tomorrow’s strong, confident and curious young women. Our vision is to have a future where women are happy, fulfilled and playing an active and equal role across our society. We do this by building relationships which nurture respect for all, are  rooted in collaboration, with stakeholders who are committed to action and accountability for impact.

Join 500×500

500 x 500 is a community of women bound by purpose, generosity, and the unwavering belief that the world can be better for the next generation of girls. Through the 500 x 500 initiative, we unite 500 women, each contributing €500, to directly fund the life-changing work of The Shona Project. Find out more HERE.
