About The Chapter

The Girls 4 Girls (G4G) Malaysia Chapter began in 2019 and is headed by Izzana Salleh, one of the Harvard graduates and co-founder of G4G. To arm young women with the courage, visions, and skills needed to take on public leadership, G4G Malaysia has recruited multiple people and hosted several Circles to help young women redefine what it means to be an empowered Malaysian woman. We hope by bringing together insights from established leaders and a global network, we can mobilize a generation of mentors to grow the pipeline of women in public leadership.
In 2021, G4G Malaysia managed to collaborate with many different individuals and organizations. Some included in the list are Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK), Parlimen Wanita Muda, One Step Closer, RISE, Axiata, and TalentCorp to name a few. In 2022, G4G Malaysia launched its first ever corporate cohort with McDermott with participants from Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and Australia. In 2023-2024, G4G Malaysia successfully organized four impactful capacity building programs attended by close to 600 individuals. These valuable knowledge-sharing sessions focused on key topics such as personal financial planning, resume building and interviewing skills, entrepreneurship, and tech.
Globally, Project Girls 4 Girls aim to train one million future leaders by the year 2030. Locally, as we work on the global aim, we also seek to empower and educate women in multiple different sectors such as politics, finance, and so much more. With our cohorts, we hope to instill confidence in women to pursue not only leadership roles but also new endeavors.

Pillar 3

Impactful Network

In Q4 2024, G4G hosted an interactive networking event featuring a masterclass by G4G mentor Jeniffer Francis on the “Power of Mentorship and Sponsorship” for professional development within the G4G community. This initiative, in partnership with Millionaire Asia and CFLI/FCIL, was highly valued by attendees. As one participant noted, “The get-together of the G4G community in itself holds a tremendous value. This is the platform where mentors and committee get to connect with each other.”

Words From Our Member

"

G4G gave me the confidence and the perspective I needed to say yes to opportunities. Over the past 3 years I’ve more than doubled my salary, received two promotions, had the bravery to appear in public interviews and started my own community initiative.
