127 Girls Educated, 127 Lives Changed

As of 2026, we have provided 127 girls with...

- An opportunity to escape human trafficking, HIV, and child marriage

- An opportunity to lift their entire families out of poverty

Celebrating Our 8th Birthday on Feb. 23, 2026

Thanks to our generous supporters, we achieved our 10-year goal in 4 years! In total we have:

- Provided 127 girls in Malawi with a year of tuition, room and board, and uniforms

- Shared our message with 128,000 viewers

- Engaged 150 runners from 7 states to join our race against hunger and gender inequality

We are more motivated than ever!

Although we achieved our goal in 4 years instead of the 10 years we estimated, we know our work has just begun
