“One of the most important challenges I face in school is bullying for my colour and how I look.“

Princess is 13. Like many girls in Sierra Leone, she faces barriers to education every day—but she’s determined to rise above them.

She lives in a riverside community where flooding is constant and space is tight. Basic services like healthcare and sanitation are hard to come by.

On top of that, Princess lives with albinism—and in her community, that often means being bullied or excluded simply because of how she looks.

“One of the most important challenges I face in school is bullying for my colour and how I look. It's hard for people to accept that I am me.”

Meet Princess in the video below and see how she is rising above these challenges.

With the support of One Girl, Princess is building confidence and achieving top results in school. She dreams of attending Harvard University one day.

Thanks to access to school supplies, life skills sessions, and emotional support, she’s taking powerful steps toward that future.

“They’ve helped me in being confident, in being strong, and in being myself. They’ve also helped me outshine others—in my studies, in my results.”

Your tax-deductible gift before June 30 can help girls like Princess to learn, lead and shine.

With the right support, girls aren’t just staying in school—they’re thriving. They’re building confidence, dreaming bigger, and stepping up as leaders. This is the transformational power of education.

Here’s what your donation can provide:

- $30 can provide 6 scholars with sanitary pads for a month, so they don't have to miss school when they have their period.
- $80 can provide 3 scholars with the opportunity to attend a monthly meeting where they’ll hear from inspiring speakers, enjoy a healthy meal, and learn the life skills that help them shine.
- $150 can go towards helping ensure scholars are supported by our amazing field officers, who act as role models and trusted mentors.
- $330 can provide 1 scholar with a back-to-school kit which includes a school bag, books, pen, uniforms, shoes, hats, calculator and much more.
- $2,250 provides a full scholarship for a One Girl Scholar, like Princess. This comprehensive support includes school fees, a solar lamp, sanitary pads, lunch money, a back-to-school kit, and more. It also includes ongoing mentorship from our dedicated field officers, access to monthly life skills meetings—ensuring she has everything she needs to learn, lead and shine.

This EOFY, support girls like Princess to learn, lead and shine.

Because when you educate a girl, everything changes.

My wife and I have 3 beautiful boys together and we made a promise to donate $1,000 if we were blessed with a baby girl fourth time around. As a result of that, we hope this money finds its way to where it is needed most.
