Because I am a Girl
Girls can make a difference... If only one gives them the chance to do so!
At LaDress we believe that there is so much more to this world than just living our lives. And not only do we believe in it, we wish to act upon it. No matter how small or how simple a helping hand offered or a gesture might be, if we all would start reaching out today, we too could make a difference.
That's why we have decided to support the 'Because I am a Girl' campaign by Plan. By supporting their campaign in order to help girls in underdeveloped countries getting the opportunity to go to school, get a proper education and develop themselves, we want to assure them of a better future: a future of equal rights, economic prosperity and most of all a healthy, happy life.
Therefore we would like to introduce to you special girls that will be actively supported by LaDress through the Plan 'Because I am a Girl' campaign:
Ramadevi from India (born November 18th 1999)
Dacnith-milenca from Bolivia (born December 1st 2007)
Hunezatou from Cameroon (born June 13th 2004)
About Plan
With the 'Because I am a Girl' campaign, Plan wishes to fight gender inequality, promote girls' rights around the globe and lift millions of girls out of poverty. Across the world, girls face the double discrimination of their gender and age, leaving them suffering at the bottom of the social ladder. Girls are denied access to health services and education, and also face extremely high levels of violence, abuse and harassment.
Founded over 70 years ago, Plan is one of the oldest and largest international development agencies in the world. They work in 49 developing countries. Plan's vision is of a world in which all children realize their full potential in societies that respect people's rights and dignity. Plan's work is made possible thanks to nearly 1,100,000 people in 17 donor countries who support Plan by sponsoring a child. An average 80% of donations goes directly to support programs benefiting children and families.
