Happy Giving Tuesday! The holiday season is upon us, and along with it, the season of gift giving. This November 30th, Circle of Women is asking you to help celebrate this holiday season by giving back to others around you. Many of us have been given an opportunity for a good education, yet so many around the world have not. Help us complete this circle of giving by donating to give young girls the chance at education they deserve.

Around the world, 129 million girls are out of school. Circle of Women, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, was created in 2006 by 3 driven Harvard students to lower this number. Since then, Circle of Women has expanded to high schools and colleges throughout the country, where 10 active chapters are working together to invest in educating girls worldwide. Circle operates by partnering with local nonprofit organizations and secondary schools to implement innovative and sustainable solutions to increase girls’ access to secondary education. As of today, Circle has planned, fundraised for, and completed 13 international projects in: Afghanistan, India, Kenya, Malawi, Pakistan, Tanzania, Peru, Uganda, Guatemala, and Haiti.

All of your Giving Tuesday contributions will go to support our newest project, WISER. The project centers around the WISER Girls’ Secondary School in Muhuru Bay, Kenya. The goal: completely fund the purchase and installation of a new septic system. WISER school is preparing to expand to serve an additional 120 girls in grades 7 and 8. To complete this project, one of the most pressing needs is the installation of a new septic tank with capacities for more students. Sanity and access to clean and functioning restrooms is a huge obstacle to ensuring hundreds of WISER students’ dignity and ability to learn, particularly during their menstrual cycle, as girls on their period often cannot attend school.

This holiday season, Circle of Women and the girls at WISER need your help to make sure that every girl receives the education they deserve. Investing in women’s education is also investing in their communities and in the future of the world. And remember: A donation of any size goes a long way at Circle of Women, where 93 cents of every dollar you donate will go directly to a project. So, on this Giving Tuesday, join us, and give the ultimate and everlasting gift of education to make a difference in the lives of so many girls.
