Girl Up TC Williams hasn't added a story.
We invite you to join us to support our Girl Up Fundraiser, The Girls of Liberia. We are Girl Up TC Williams, a student-led chapter of the United Nations Girl Up campaign at TC Williams High School in Alexandria, VA fighting for girls’ education and empowerment everywhere. With your help we look forward to helping the amazing girls of the Peace Island Community outside Monrovia, Liberia go to -- and stay in -- school.
Our fundraising partner is the Liberian non-profit, Youth Crime Watch. Youth Crime Watch is an accredited youth organization established in 2004 dedicated to fighting illiteracy and promoting reconciliation, reconstruction, peace, development and better and healthier lifestyles in Liberia through crime prevention, youth empowerment and youth employment.
Our Founder and Co-President, Reesey du Pont, met Youth Crime Watch's Youth Empowerment team in the Peace Island Community outside Monrovia, Liberia in March of this year and spoke to a group of about 50 girls our age who are all seeking a better life through education. These girls dream of becoming doctors, lawyers, computer scientists, or even pilots. But they face significant barriers going to school from lack of access to menstrual products (they are not affordable), basic resources to study (they have no textbooks, pencils or paper), light to study at night (their community has no power) and scholarships to attend school (it is too expensive). Donations will help ensure that these girls can rise above these barriers and pursue their dreams. Funds will support the purchase of feminine hygiene kits for girls to make their own quality reusable feminine hygiene pads, and provide school scholarships for girls – both of which are keys to helping them stay in school.
We ask for your support to help us reach our fundraising goal of $5,000. Please also feel free to share this campaign with others. Your participation is a commitment to girls’ education and empowerment around the world. If you have any questions, you can reach us at girluptcw@gmail.com.
Be part of the change.
THANK YOU!!
Girl Up TC Williams
for every girl everywhere
