For girls like Evie, life can be horrible. Instead of having the opportunity to go to school, they’ll be married when they’re still just a child. All too often, they’ll become pregnant and give birth before their bodies are ready.

Become a sponsor today and you’ll help protect girls from child marriage by building safe, secure communities that value girls. You’ll help them stay in school and learn, because it’s where they want to be.

By exchanging letters and photos with your sponsored child, you’ll see for yourself how you’re helping to change young girls’ lives. And with at least 80p in every pound you donate going directly to projects like this in the country where your sponsored child lives, you can be sure you’ll make a lasting difference.
