We’re climbing 5,000 ft to raise £50,000 and keep 5,000 girls in school.

With the pandemic forcing the loss of decades worth of progress towards gender equality and risking the futures of 10 million girls, the UK government’s short-sighted cuts to UK Aid have left the futures of girls in the Irise community and beyond hanging in the balance. Without support they face school dropout, child marriage and the loss of their dreams for the future.

If we act NOW, TOGETHER, we can help young girls RISE-UP and realise their full potential. We need YOU to STAND-UP for girls’ rights now and stand with the girls in our community whose futures are at risk. Will you join us?

“If we get help, many of us would go back to school, and we can achieve our dreams and become future leaders.” Racheal, Ugandan School Girl
