Protect girls like Lehanna from child marriage

WHY GIRLS NEED YOU

Lehanna was forced out of school to marry a man more than twice her age. Vulnerable girls like her, from the world’s poorest communities, are most at risk. They’re more likely to be:

  • victims of violence and abuse
  • denied an education
  • denied making their own choices
  • vulnerable during emergencies

You can help stop this abuse by sponsoring a girl today. You’ll help keep girls out of marriage and in school, giving them the strength and hope to go on to reach their dreams.
