As the COVID-19 Pandemic continues to morph, it continues to present different challenges for everyone around the world. Girls continue to be disproportionately affected by most of these challenges including higher exposure to sexual abuse. Yet not even COVID can take away the will of girls across the world to fight for their rights and dream of a better world.
During this year's International Day of the Girl Child, we brought together 50 girls from Kibera, Africa's largest slum, to celebrate their advocacy efforts. These girls are using their talents of singing, poetry, writing to raise their voices in digital spaces against gender inequalities. Listening to their stories of courage and hope was extremely inspiring and challenging.
It is such an honor, privilege, and high responsibility to support in different ways, their dream of a more just world. We thank all our donors for playing their part to support this dream through their generous giving. And as we get into the holiday season, may we all be inspired to play our part in building the beautiful world that these girls dream of and deserve!
