WHY GIRLS

Despite years of progress so many girls across the world are still being undervalued, undermined and underestimated. Held back by damaging gender stereotypes, harassed in public and even sometimes married as children. Often, even survival is harder for girls. By taking on Step up for Girls you'll be raising funds for girls and young women around the world who deserve an equal chance in life to thrive.

- £9 is enough to send a girl to school in Nicaragua for a month.

- £12 could provide a dignity kit to a girl in Mozambique so they can manage their periods the way they choose. The kit contains items such as reusable period pads, pairs of underwear, soaps for washing clothes and bathing, a bag, and nail clippers.

- £55 is enough to support a Positive Parents group in Tanzania for a year, building up parents as allies against FGM and child marriage.

STEP UP YOUR WAY

If you would like to take part as a group, at school or at work please contact us at communityfundraising@plan-uk.org and we will help tailor the challenge to suit you.

10,000 steps a day won't be suitable for everyone, so we encourage you to adapt the challenge to suit your ability. Walk, run or wheel and Step Up for Girls rights your way- it really is the taking part that counts.
