I am raising money for an organization called GIRLS NOT BRIDES which brings attention to child marriage. The people who work at GIRLS NOT BRIDES travel the world and go to many villages to teach people about the dangers of child marriage. They offer education and petitions at the places where child marriage occurs; the petition states that it is illegal for a family to sell their daughter into marriage before she is of age. In collaboration with WOMEN'S WORLD WIDE WEB, they are educating and training women to work in agriculture so they can raise enough money to provide for their families, so they won't have to sell their children into marriage. When a young girl is taken away from her family, her right to education is revoked, she usually never sees her family again. This leads to child pregnancies at the ages of 11-17, and most of the men that these girls marry are twice their age. This is a topic that I care deeply about, and with the help of my friends, we want to raise $1,800 dollars to shine a light on this travesty. Please donate: it could truly make a world of difference in someones life! Check it out for more information: https://www.girlsnotbrides.org/
