Story

Right now, 129 million girls in some of the worlds poorest places are missing out on an education, denied their greatest chance to fulfil their potential.

When families can only send one child to school, often its a son who is chosen. Even when they are able to get to school, girls are being held back in the classroom by damaging gender stereotypes told they cant be too outspoken, too ambitious or too independent. All because they're a girl.

But people across the UK - across the world - are taking action.

By joining them, you could help over 10,000 girls in Cambodia, Nepal, Myanmar and Madagascar get access to education by building schools, improving hygiene facilities, supporting girls at high risk of dropping out, setting up community groups and training teachers to cast out gender stereotypes.

Donate to our Girls Will Be Girls appeal between 21st April and the 21st July 2022 and the UK government will double all UK public donations, so that we can make double the difference to girls around the world.

Together, we can give girls the education and the opportunities which are their right, so that they can be fearless, pioneering, successful, revolutionary... whatever they want to be.

Girls Will Be Girls. And the world better get ready.
