We'd like to begin our first report by thanking everyone who donated to Huru's GlobalGiving project, and to those who spread the word about the Open Challenge. Your support has earned Huru a permanent place on GlobalGiving, which will help us to keep more girls in school.
Also thanks to the generosity of our donors, Huru hit a big milestone in September, when we reached our 20,000th girl with a Huru Kit! It's an accomplishment that would not have been possible without you. Better still, we're going to reach tens of thousands more girls over the next year, and we'll have some exciting updates on our near-term plans in our next GlobalGiving report.
I'd also like to note that in October, Huru launched an exciting new awareness-raising campaign in partnership with the o.b. Brand. From now until December 5, o.b. will donate $1 to Huru for each 'share' the o.b. Outreach Facebook page receives, up to $25,000. You can 'Share It Forward' to a friend at the link below, and help Huru to reach another 1,000 girls!

We look forward to reporting additional progress at the beginning of 2012. In the meantime, to catch the spirit of a Huru Kit distribution, you may want to watch this video:
