This is a gift idea worth considering. A purchase of holiday cards from One Girl Can helps so many. It is always nice to receive a real card from someone during the holidays. So whether you choose to mail a card to a friend or family member, or you just attach the card to a gift, either way you are doing something good that will benefit others.
We all have someone on our list that already has everything, why not make a donation on their behalf this year. Or if you have a young woman you want to encourage to be more conscientiously aware then the T-shirt might make a good gift and it helps too!

ONE GIRL CAN
One Girl Can is breaking the cycle of poverty and impacting gender equality through education and mentorship.
Our holistic model empowers a girl from the time she leaves primary school until the day she gains meaningful employment.
WE BUILD
We believe a good education starts with a dynamic learning environment. Once we partner with a school
we stay with them, and as they grow we’re there to support them.
WE EDUCATE
In the marginalized regions of Kenya and Uganda where we work, education is unaffordable for many families. We provide high school and university scholarships to girl with the greatest need and potential. By sponsoring a girl’s education you’ll be helping her achieve her dreams and break the cycle of poverty and gender inequality. Contact us for more information on girls needing sponsorship.
UNIVERSITY
In the rural areas and urban slums where we work, chances of attending university are extremely low, especially if you are a girl. We provide university scholarships for the brightest and most determined girls, so they can break out of poverty and build a career.
WE MENTOR
When we began interacting with the girls at our schools, we realized no one had ever even asked them what they want to be.
For many girls in sub-Saharan Africa, their future is predetermined from birth. They will remain trapped in the cycle of poverty; marrying young, rearing children and working 15-18 hours a day, often as a single parent.
Through coaching and mentoring, we help these girls realize that an alternative future can be theirs. Our workshops teach them how to create a vision for the life they want to live, how to develop a plan to achieve this, and to execute the plan everyday to begin moving their lives forward.
Please note you will receive a tax receipt for 90% of the cost of the holiday cards.
