I have always been interested helping girls. My mom works for the United Nations and has many connection to various nonprofits across the globe. When I was in 6th grade, my mom introduced me to Girl Up. I went to the website:

www.girlup.org

I found all the materials I needed to start my own club!

How I Got Started

I have run a successful Girl Up club over the past 3 years!

Our club has: Raised money through ice skating party

Had various bake sales Attended a movie screening at

the World Bank Lobbied with our local Congressman Raised money for women in Morocco

Girl Up and Me!

Between 6th and 7th grade I was contacted by Professor Iain Guest, a friend of my moms. He challenged me to raise $600 to provide sewing machines for women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

By using the website:www.firstgiving.comI was able to fundraise for the cause!
