Springster is a global mobile-first platform, which celebrates the diverse, inspirational and convention-defying experiences of girls all over the world. 

A mobile-first global platform, Springster digitally connects marginalised and vulnerable girls around the world. Featuring content designed for girls and created by girls, the platform puts essential, tailored information directly into their hands, and helps them find meaning and strength in each other’s experiences.

As a content partner on Facebook's Free Basics and in partnership with local mobile operators, the platform (formerly known as Girl Effect Mobile) is available to girls globally who have access to a mobile phone, for free with no data charges (on Free Basics mobile networks). It is set to become the world’s biggest source of data on adolescent girls, by tracking real time usage, comments, surveys and user engagement.

With millions of girls in the global South now using mobile technology, the platform educates and inspires them on key social issues – including health, education, financial security and personal safety.

Based around an inclusive and dynamic culture of sharing real-life experiences, polls and advice, girls not only learn from each other, but also cultivate their own sense of self-belief and resilience through storytelling. Springster’s dynamic methods of measuring impact show how online activity shapes offline behaviour, leading to a dramatic shift in girls' knowledge, attitudes and actions.

By breaking down social barriers and forging friendships across borders, Springster enables girls to gain the kind of knowledge and power they need to become agents of their own change, wherever they live.
