Stop Child Marriages Today in Africa

Introduction 

In Africa, around 30% of girls marry before the age of 18. This contributes to high fertility rates, increased health risks, reduced educational levels and cost the countries billions of dollars in lost earnings. By providing girls with mental and educational support, as well as sustainable solutions for partners to independently earn a living we contribute to gender equality as well as quality education which will give people the opportunity to make educated decisions.

Report 

At Shanduko Yeupenyu Childcare, have made it a priority to teach communities on the benefits of keeping young girls in school and helping young girls escape the threat of child marriage. But we want to do more, we currently support 45 girls and want to expand to helping a 100 girls as soon as possible. Raising funds to support them through their entire school education, and providing them with mental health support would be a dream come true. Please help by sharing and clicking the link in bio to donate to our cause. All help is needed.

Introduction 

Shockingly still today In Africa, around 30% of girls marry before the age of 18. This contributes to high fertility rates, increased health risks, reduced educational levels and cost the countries billions of dollars in lost earnings.

Report 

The fact of minimal access to education and the widespread poverty in communities, families are unaware of or have no other choice than to arrange child marriages. Due to the deep-rooted patriarchy and lack of independence, girls are those who are affected the most. 1 in 3 girls in sub-Saharan Africa are married before the age of 18, which causes girls to leave school early, putting them at higher risk of health problems; and contributing to population growth, and lower standards of living. We have managed to raise $531 for this extremely important cause but still have a very long way to go.
