“I don’t want my daughter’s childhood to end like mine.”

“Before I was married at 14, I used to study and do all the things a child my age would do. But that stopped when I got married. I faced a lot of problems, including mental health issues,” says Tahara. She is fighting for her daughter Mahiya’s future. Mahiya desperately wants to stay in school and dreams of becoming a doctor.

“I don’t want any other girl to be forced to marry. I want her to study and fulfill all of her dreams. Please help us stop the next child marriage.”

No child should be forced to marry. Here’s how your gift will help create lifelong change for girls:

✅ You’ll help run community workshops to change harmful beliefs about child marriage.

✅ You’ll support girls to stay in school and reach for their dreams.

✅ You’ll equip local leaders to speak up for girls and lead change that transforms communities

✅ You’ll empower girls, educate parents, and help whole communities end child marriage for good!

“I escaped child marriage when I was 14”

Umme’s struggling mom believed that early marriage would help Umme have a better life.

Thankfully, Umme had attended our child marriage workshops. She knew child marriage is illegal in Bangladesh and understood the physical and mental health dangers. When Umme’s mom heard the truth, she stopped the marriage and let her stay in school.

“Today, I tutor children because I want to become a teacher,” says Umme, now 18. “But many more girls need help before it’s too late. Will you help protect our futures?”
