The following is the executive summary of M4Girls, prepared by the Mindset Network and Neil Butcher and Associates, and reprinted here with permission from Mindset.
The M4girls project is a partnership between Nokia, Mindset Network, and the Department of Education (North West Province) to test the provision of educational content on a mobile phone platform to girl learners. The project targeted the development of Mathematics competencies in Grade Ten girl learners from underserved communities, and aimed to empower girl learners in the following ways:
• Access to mathematics (as a pilot subject area and driven by priority areas in education in South Africa);
• Exposure to a complementary platform of curriculum-aligned Mathematics content (Mindset content) on mobile phones; and
• Exposure to technology in the form of mobile phones.

Citizen journalism, and with it the rise of alternative media voices, is one of the most exciting possibilities for mobile phones in activism.
