Welcome to My Circle for the Circle

Your Opportunity to Leverage Your Circle for Girls and Women Worldwide

Share:


We are thrilled to launch "My Circle for the Circle," a new peer-to-peer fundraising initiative designed to empower YOU, our Circle of Sisterhood supporters, to expand our mission by engaging YOUR personal circle in the fight for girls' and women's education.


The need to remove barriers to education grows greater every day. Across the globe, recent government policies and decisions are deepening these challenges. Hard-won progress in the rights of women and girls is under unprecedented threat worldwide. One in every 10 women are living in extreme poverty and are being denied the fundamental right to a life of safety, dignity, and prosperity.

Education will eradicate poverty.

We invite you to rally your sorority sisters, family, friends, colleagues, and anyone who shares your passion for education equity. By forming your own small circle within our larger Circle, you can expand your impact, ensuring more girls and women worldwide gain access to the education they deserve. Would you please join us and engage more people in our efforts to foster brighter futures for girls and women — we need your help to bring more people to this work because together, we are stronger.


Frequently Asked Questions about MY CIRCLE for the Circle of Sisterhood

WHAT is a Peer-to-Peer Fundraising initiative for the Circle of Sisterhood

  • Individual supporters who leverage their personal circle to raise money for the Circle of Sisterhood.

WHY choose Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
