Just $50 can provide a bicycle to a girl in rural Maharashtra, India so she can travel to school.  Without the bike, many girls are forced to drop out of school because of the distance.  Consider making a donation in honor of a friend or loved one this holiday season, and help make education and a brighter future a reality for these girls.   Simply choose the "donate in honor of" option at checkout or learn more here.

If this project isn't right, you can still give the gift of changing the world with GlobalGiving's Gift Cards.  For as little as $10, recipients can choose to donate to any of the 800 projects on GlobalGiving.org.  Learn more about gift cards here.
