WHAT WAS YOUR DREAM AT 13?
by Girls Education Collaborative
Alexis Book
Hi friends,
When I was 13, my dream was to be a writer. It hasn't even been 10 years since I entered my teenage years and I'm already living my dream, writing content for a multi-national company every day. But now that I've been lucky enough to reach my dreams, I want to give back to girls around the world who I KNOW can totally kick some ass and reach their dreams...they just need the chance to do it.
I am fundraising on behalf of Girls Education Collaborative (GEC) to help girls around the world achieve their dreams.
My goal is to raise $500.00 to go toward furthering GEC's mission to ensure safe, holistic and quality education for all girls. Because when you educate a girl, you educate the world.
Why donate to my page? Because this year, together, we can make a difference. So, amidst the presents you buy, the gifts you receive, and the traveling you do during this holiday season, please consider donating to help GEC bring education and opportunity to girls in need.
One girl can make a difference- for herself, her community, and the whole world. She just needs to be given a chance. Please donate today.
There's nothing a girl can't do.
Thank you!

What was your dream at 13? Did you want to be a teacher? A musician? Or maybe a nurse? We want to hear your story!
Magdalena's dream is to be a lawyer.
Hundreds of thousands more girls have dreams like Magdalena, but generational poverty and harmful cultural traditions prevent them from being able to pursue them. Overcrowded and unsafe schools, sexual abuse, family chores and obligations, female genital mutilation, and child marriage are some of the most common barriers to education for these girls.
Girls Education Collaborative's mission is to remove barriers and to give all girls the opportunity to have a safe, holistic, and quality education. Our first project, the Kitenga School For Girls, run by our partners, the Immaculate Heart Sisters of Africa, has enrolled 59 girls in our inaugural class this year.
Many more girls are waiting.

Because there's nothing a girl can't do.
