When a girl child is given a chance, she can do what a boy child can do, says 14-year-old Harriet. In a refugee settlement in Uganda this confident, smiling student is showing just what girls are capable of.

When Harriets family were forced to flee South Sudan, she was afraid she would never get back to school. But then she joined our Accelerated Learning Programme for child refugees and her learning took off.

Because of supporters like you, we were able to support Harriet in catching up on the education she missed, and she's now doing brilliantly at school. Shes even been chosen as Head Girl by the other pupils. This top student is determined to become a lawyer, and make life better for people in South Sudan. Im going to change the world! she says.

Harriets working hard to create opportunities for other girls, too. By writing songs and plays about gender equality, shes changing perceptions of what girls can do. She sings: Our girls are driving, our girls get salaries. Society benefits, our nation benefits. Its clear Harriets building a bright future, and not just for herself.
