In 1988, 

the students of Burntwood School in Wandsworth, South West London 

were touched by the plight of Beatrice from Kenya and I, a girl from a large 

polygamous family. My father had died leaving three wives and many children 

with no means of livelihood. I was selling bean cake and child-minding and 

walked 20km to and from school in a bid to get an education. 

In an unbelievable spirit of generosity,

 children from Burntwood School, some of whom were from economically 

disadvantaged backgrounds themselves, offered to support Beatrice and I 

through secondary school. They raised money through a variety of 

ingenious and fun activities to ensure that their peers in these 

faraway countries had a chance at a better life.  

I now have a Masters in Management 

and work to support girls to achieve their full potential. In 2010, 

I visited Burntwood School to thank them personally for ensuring that 

Beatrice and I had a life and a future. In their characteristic spirit of generosity, 

the students of this school then again offered to support two girls from Rwanda 

through secondary schooling!

What if,

we could find a thousand schools to each support one girl? 

What a splendid revolution we would start!  You do not need a lot 

of money to make a difference, get your school involved, do fun stuff 

and raise money to help change the course of history. 

You are capable 

of starting a massive wheel of change, you cannot leave it to someone else; 

you can cause change to happen! 

Sponsor a girl today

and see the difference you would make to lives, communities and nations.

From Pakistan to Papua New Guinea, Guyana to The Gambia, 

Bangladesh to Botswana, The Solomon Islands to St Vincent 

and the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago to Tanzania, Ghana to 

Grenada and beyond, the girl child needs your help and support!
