Last year, we ran our hugely successful Global Girls Run The World campaign, encouraging collective movement all over the world to support Global Girl Project. Now it’s back!
This March we run an epic collective virtual race of 50,000km around the world. These virtual kilometers represent the journeys between the Global Girl Project’s partner countries.
Global Girls Run The World is all about:
Connection: be a part of a team and join a wider collective all moving for good
Care: caring for yourself by being more active and giving yourself time to move
Change: making global change by supporting the work of Global Girl Project by helping us reach our fundraising goal of £50,000!
What will you do with £50,000?
We have big plans for 2022! We want to see more than 300 girls be mobilised through our innovative leadership programming and making community and global change. We are expanding our programming to new countries and going into Peru for the first time, we are revisiting our work in Afghanistan, we are building a new and improved online learning platform for our graduates, and we are working on a whole new virtual leadership and cultural exchange program for our girls.
What was it like last year?
Last year we raised £30,890, and this year we want to make even more impact! Through your donations last year we were able to make our Founding Director a full-time employee, hire our first external position, our Programme Manager Hannah, expand our Blended Learning Leadership Initiative to five more locations, and launch our innovative Global Graduates Connect platform! Check out our story highlights on Instagram @globalgirlproject to see more about last year.
It looks amazing, what do I do next?
Go to our fundraising page at Chuffed.org, create your own fundraising page, and share it with friends and family!
