Giving Girls a Chance on #GivingTuesday...and Everyday!

“I want every girl to know that her voice can change the world.”
“Educating girls isn’t just good for the girls, it’s good for all of us. The future of our world is only as bright as the future of our girls.”
2020 has been a year we would all like to toss away. As this tumultuous year draws to a close we reflect back on ALL that has happened and we look to find what we can learn, what we can move forward upon with rays of promise and hope. So much of that hope and promise can be found in the engagement and motivation of young women all over the world who used their voice to show everyone that Yes! This Girl Can
Long before the pandemic access to quality education for millions of girls around the globe was fraught with obstacles and met with closed doors. The upheaval in education everywhere has only exacerbated the problems that girls encounter as they seek to change their lives and uplift their communities through education. As the effects of the pandemic take hold there is the very real fear that millions of young girls may never return to school and will have their dreams cut short.
On this Giving Tuesday, or whenever you can, let’s help organizations working to change the future by kicking open doors and showing girls everywhere how to walk through them into a better tomorrow. Supporting organizations that are committed to helping girls gain the education they deserve, the safe and equitable communities they need to thrive, and empowering them to use their voices to change their lives, their communities and their world, can only mean a brighter future for us all.
Visit these organizations, many have a matching gift on this Giving Tuesday, and let’s help EVERY girl show that This Girl Can! Use Her Voice to Change the World.
“When you educate a girl, you kickstart a cycle of success. It makes economic sense. It makes social sense. It makes moral sense. But, it seems, it’s not common sense yet. ”
“Imagine if you have a team and you don’t let half of the team play. That’s stupid. That makes no sense. And the evidence shows that communities that give their daughters the same opportunities as their sons, they are more peaceful, they are more prosperous, they develop faster, they are more likely to succeed.”
