Help Us Award Scholarships on the Night of The Girl with the Louding Voice Play 🎭

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.

This October, in partnership with the Ovie Brume Foundation, we are bringing The Girl with the Louding Voice to the stage in Lagos. The play will be performed by children from underserved communities and shown free to thousands of schoolchildren.

But the most important part of that evening will come when scholarships are placed into the hands of girls who are about to leave school because life has made it too hard to stay. These scholarships will cover fees, uniforms, books, and safe transport everything a girl needs to remain in the classroom and keep dreaming of her future.

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:

£75 will provide essentials for one girl: books, a uniform, a schoolbag, and a dignity kit.

£350 will keep a girl in school for a year: her fees paid, her books and uniform supplied, and safe transport guaranteed.

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
