Devoted to providing the means towards the rescue, rehabilitation, education and mentoring of women and girls restricted by their circumstances.
The circumstances of many young girls and women around the world cause them to be deprived of safe living conditions, medical care, education, freedom of choice and even the basic necessities of food and clothing. Since Give a Girl a Chance started it has been working to raise funds to be able to deliver the help that is so clearly needed.
About 2 million girls a year experience Female Genital Mutilation, many more are forced into early marriage, and tens of millions are forced to seek refuge from armed conflict and gender based violence.
With every donation however big or small, you will be giving a girl the chance of an education and the possibility of reaching her full potential.

WE MADE OUR GOAL!!!
Thanks to all of you who donated to the Emergency Relief Fundraising Drive for the Zachary Taylor Orphanage, the children now have some of the essential living requirements they lost in the dormitory fire.
Much love and gratitude to the donors has been expressed by the children and management of the Orphanage. The pictures tell the story…
Give a Girl a Chance has been contacted by Zachary Taylor Orphanage in western Kenya for immediate assistance as they have had a large fire that destroyed the dormitories for the 125 children (mostly girls) they provide a home for.
Quoting from their urgent request:
“On Friday night (October 09-2009) when the children were asleep they abruptly realized that one of their dormitories had started burning. Through God’s power they managed to wake each other and escaped all of them from the fire, though Victor slightly got burnt but this is when he was struggling to save his younger children but he managed and all the children are safe, but the two dormitories perished.”
Give a Girl a Chance has managed to send $4000 out of its emergency fund to help towards the $12,000 they need.

Leah shows off the beautiful 'Brightness of Life' bracelets that she's been selling.
While preparing for her bat mitzvah this past year, 12-year-old Leah Wiser of Boca Raton decided she wanted to get involved in a program that would benefit others.
Her twin sister Rebecca was also planning a service-related project, but Leah wanted her endeavor to be her own.
Through her mother, Corin Wiser, Leah learned about Give a Girl a Chance, a program of Feminenza International that got its start in 2006 and has since raised more than $1,000 to help women in Africa become educated and escape devastating circumstances.
“I knew that I wanted to help girls in Africa, and when I heard about this, I knew it was the perfect way,” Leah said. “The girls there don’t have the privileges we have; they’re abused and neglected by their parents and sold off to strangers to be married in exchange for cows. I couldn’t sit in America not helping these girls.”
To raise funds, Leah has sold Brightness of Life bracelets, brightly colored bangles made of natural resources by African women.
On 10th July 2007 Elizabeth Hamill and Trevor Barry of the Give a Girl a Chance team, accompanied by Feminenza CEO Mary Noble and Dr Brugnello Gomes, spent a day driving out to visit the school where Christopher Murray works and then visiting his home near Narok. Christopher Murray volunteers his time to help manage the Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre, one of the organizations that GGC supports. It was an opportunity for us to gain a deeper understanding of the life of a man who has dedicated himself to being an agent for change.
