Thank You! D oom and gloom. It’s easy to be swept up in the news about the latest crisis. But while the global landscape presents ongoing complexities, it also brings opportunities for innovation and positive change – and you’re a significant driver of that meaningful change. Last May we had the opportunity to join the board on a trip to Ghana to witness how the work you support is experienced by participants. It felt like every young person we encountered was, in their own way, an activist, pushing to secure their family’s future or make a change in their community. One moment that stood out was when a young man confidently spoke to a roomful of delegates and youth activists. He fielded questions effortlessly, never breaking a sweat. The topic: the need for girls to have access to menstrual supplies. It was a dramatic reminder that getting boys and men involved in creating and benefiting from a world where girls are equal is a game changer. In this special Annual Report digest, we’ve highlighted some of the life-changing projects you have supported. For a more in-depth read, we encourage you to click the link below. We are privileged to have your support, and together we won’t stop, until we are all equal.
