International Day of the Girl
Double your impact
Every year on International Day of the Girl (11th October), we recognise the power, resilience and potential of girls around the world. Yet millions of girls, especially in conflict-affected communities face barriers such as poverty, violence and lack of access to education.
For one week only (6th-13th October), all donations will be doubled at no extra cost to you through the Big Give Women & Girls Empowerment campaign. So every pound you give makes twice the impact for women and girls affected by conflict. Together we can raise £20,000 in just one week!
