Educate a girl and she will change the world. By giving her choice over her own future, she can break the cycle of poverty, empower future generations and transform entire communities.

But right now, 129 million girls in some of the worlds poorest places are missing out on an education, denied their greatest chance to fulfil their potential.

When families can only send one child to school, often its a son who is chosen. Even when they are able to get to school, girls are being held back in the classroom by damaging gender stereotypes told they cant be too outspoken, too ambitious or too independent. All because they're a girl.

I'm joining UWS to help transform girl's lives through education.

For every £1 you give between the 21st April and 21st July 2022, the UK government will double your donation.

Together, we can make double the difference to girls around the world, giving them the education and opportunities which are their fundamental right.
