Global Giving’s Girl Effect Challenge

We need your help with a great opportunity for our girls!

FFLV has been chosen to compete in Global Giving’s Girl Effect Challenge. Funded by the Nike Foundation and many other large well-known donors, The Girl Effect has been raising awareness around the world over the past two years about the importance of investing in girl's education and the potential this has to change the developing world. It has attracted thousands of followers.

From today until November 15th, FFLV will be appealing to donors, supporters and friends to make a small donation to our project through the Girl Effect Challenge web page on Global Giving. We will be competing with 59 other girl-focused projects to attract the highest number of individual donors to support our project.  The six that have the most donors by November 15 will be featured on the Girl Effect Fund's Global Giving fundraising page for all of 2012 and will get a grant of about $80,000 from the fund next year.

I know our work is important to you so please help us become one of the winners! You can do so by going to our project page and making a small donation ($17 minimum) and then telling ten of your friends about it and asking them to do the same!  

When you donate, you are helping the school in more than one way: Your donation will help us financially and counts as a vote for FFLV in the challenge.  The publicity and funds we'll receive if we win will enable us to help even more girls next year and beyond!

If you want to follow the competition and track our progress, please join our Facebook group.
