Hi there, Happy International Women’s Day! To honor this important day, the Girls Opportunity Alliance added two new organizations to our Fund: The Haitian Women’s Collective and Studio Samuel. Our mission is to support local, community-led organizations around the world that work to empower adolescent girls, and these two organizations do just that.  The Haitian Women’s Collective supports girls in Haiti with scholarships, leadership training, and health education in secondary school to help them build confidence and new skills. Studio Samuel’s “Training for Tomorrow” program helps girls in Ethiopia to learn about computer literacy, creative arts, and other future career paths.   To-date, we have supported 50 grassroots projects in 20 countries like India, Malawi, Cambodia, Peru, and Afghanistan reaching more than 17,000 young women. These programs are helping girls stay in school, offering mentorship, building dormitories and computer labs, and so much more. We’re grateful that 9,000 individual donors from all 50 states and 40 countries have contributed to support this vital work for adolescent girls. We hope you’ll join us in support on International Women’s Day. Learn more about organizations featured on the Girls Opportunity Alliance Fund that are empowering adolescent girls through education, including by helping them to keep learning safely during pandemic. Then make a donation to support these young women and their dreams. Your support creates a ripple effect all its own—because when girls get the opportunities they deserve, they can transform their families, their communities, their countries, and our world.  I can’t think of a better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than that.   –Tiffany Tiffany Drake Executive Director, Girls Opportunity Alliance   Make a gift today to support girls around the world: DONATE             ⓒ 2022 Obama Foundation
