Stop 368 Teen Girls in Ghana from Missing School

A few weeks ago, you empowered 400 young women in Ghana to keep pursuing their education by making a gift to the Self-Help Teen Girls Club through the GlobalGiving Girl Fund Campaign!

Before the campaign, we set a goal to raise $3,500 from 95 supporters between Mar. 6-13. You went above and beyond. Not only did you personally support the Teen Girls Club - you invited your friends, family, and colleagues to join you.

Thanks to your mobilization efforts, 236 people came together to raise $9,841 to provide after-school tutoring, life-skills training, girls’ health lessons, and confidence-building sessions to girls in 5 communities.

The Teen Girls Club finished in 9th place in the Girl Fund and didn’t make it into the 2020 Girl Fund cohort, but you changed the lives of 400 young women and pushed other projects in the Girl Fund to raise money to empower women and girls around the world.

In total, the GlobalGiving’s Girl Fund raised $280,445 from 6,728 supporters for women and girls everywhere.  The organizations in the 2020 Girl Fund cohort are doing amazing things to champion women and girls, including: improving the livelihoods of women in rural Kenya; helping girls in Kenya stay in school; improving girls’ access to education in Senegal; empowering girls in Africa with sanitary supplies and girls’ health education; training girls in India to be “peer health educators” in low-income schools; educating and employing girls living in extreme poverty in the Dominican Republic; improving gender equity through clean water access in Rwanda; and providing training to at-risk girls in Uganda about topics like gender equity, girls’ health, etc.

Thank you so much to all of you who made this year’s Girl Fund such a success!  Keep an eye out for a project report from the same email address in about 6-8 weeks so you can learn more about the impact you made possible for so many more young women in Ghana!
