Thank you for committing to help VSO reach more young mums in urgent need. Change that last for survivors like Elizabeth.
Around the world millions of girls leave school for a marriage that can put their health and safety at risk. Just like 14-year-old Elizabeth. Their health and well-being can be damaged from exploitation, and even violence. Right now, thousands of girls face the same fate as Elizabeth did prior to VSO's support.
Your regular gifts will help empower more girls to catch up on learning - and life - and have brighter futures. Thank you for being a VSO changemaker.
