While we struggle to deal with how a pandemic affects us personally, we can’t forget the girls around the world who need not only continued access to education, but help to manage even basic needs.

She’s the First continues to support girls’ education and make their voices heard worldwide through their partner organizations, and explains the unique challenges girls face when cut-off from schools and mentors during a global pandemic.

We encourage you to watch the video and visit their website for more information and ways to donate.

Jharana and Sirjana are two She’s The First Scholars from Nepal, and they have organized a 5K to raise awareness about working towards equality for girls.  This event took place on August 26, and this coincided with the 95th Anniversary of American women winning the right to vote.  To make the run more personal, each participant wore a tag on their backs in an effort to raise awareness for something that they believe in.
