Dear Amazing You,

Let me introduce Adunni, the main character in my novel The Girl with the Louding Voice and it's award winning sequel, And So I Roar.

Adunni is funny, determined, and full of dreams, but life keeps getting in her way: poverty, forced labour, early marriage, and lack of access to education. Adunni’s story is fiction. But her story is the reality for millions of girls in Nigeria. This is why I started a scary thing: The Louding Voice Foundation. I dream of educating thousands of girls in Nigeria, but I cannot do it alone. I need your help. With your help, I want to raise £20,000 to fund a 2025 education project for girls bright, capable young girls deserving of a chance to rewrite their stories.

Right now, there are over 10.5 million children out of school in Nigeria, and 60% of them are girls. That’s millions of futures being wasted. Education changes everything. It breaks cycles of poverty, reduces child marriage, and builds stronger communities.

Your support will make a difference:

School fees and tuition.

Textbooks and learning materials.

Uniforms and shoes.

Mentorship and training and safe transportation.

With £20,000, we can support at least 60 girls for a full year.

It costs about £350 to change one life for a year, and every penny you give goes straight to making that happen. I know you believe, like I do, that every girl deserves a chance to succeed and I am sure we can do something incredible together. Your donation is hope. It’s a future teacher, doctor, entrepreneur, or leader. It is a girl standing up and saying,

Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring. And thank you for helping me give these girls a chance to find their own louding voices.

With all my heart,

Abi Daré

Chief Louding Officer of the Louding Voice Foundation
