While we need to invest in resources like bathrooms and school fees and uniforms and safe transportation, we also need to work on cultural norms that devalue girls, that only value them for their bodies and not for their minds. That takes a lot of work.

Today is International Literacy Day!  Literacy and education are fundamental rights, and are essential for sustainable development. This is crucial if we want to reduce poverty, improve maternal and child health, and achieve gender equality.  UNESCO has been working to improve global literacy since 1946. Learn more about Literacy Day and their efforts here.

In the Safe Villages we’re establishing in Jharkhand, India, just $100 provides a bicycle to children who have no other way to safely attend school, and an escape from brutal child labor in the mica mines. LEARN MORE and GIVE at: www.madeinafreeworld.com/india.

Here’s a story to put a smile on your face. Little Noah Fogg, just SIX years old, has just completed an amazing 2.5 km run to raise money for Oxfam because, in his words, he ‘wants to help people in different countries who have nowhere to live and no clothes to wear’. Not only did Noah complete the run, he went even further and actually ran a mighty 3.2 km in total, raising a massive £1,268 and smashing his original target of £200 for our lifesaving work. Share this if you think Noah is a real-life superhero!
