Thank you so much

Your donation will help more girls get the education they deserve

By supporting VSO you're helping to get girls learning and growing through the power of role models.

Because education isn't just about passing exams. For these girls, and many like them all over the world, it's about taking control of their lives. It's about confidence, self-reliance and lifting one another up from unjust circumstances. 

Thank you again for supporting VSO
