International Day of the Girl 2023
Wednesday, October 11, 2023
Dear friends,
Today is International Day of the Girl, and this reminds me of the sad reality that 324,000 girls are not attending school in Nepal, many are coerced or forced into manual labor, and 25% of young women in Nepal are married as teenagers.
Our Big Sisters’ Home is a refuge for girls who are at risk of exploitation, abuse, suicide, or child marriage. We want to help more girls complete their education, know their value, build life skills and supportive social networks, and thrive! This is good for their families, communities, and for all of us.
In honor of International Day of the Girl, I’m proud to share with you this brief video celebrating the impact of our Big Sisters’ Home.
Girls deserve freedom. Will you help secure a home and a future for girls in crisis?
