Hastings Supports Girl Rising

Help Hastings High School’s Amnesty International club raise money for Girls Rising, an organization that helps girls across the world gain an education!

We chose this impactful organization because we believe in the power of education to raise people out of poverty. Today, over 129 million girls do not have access to education. Without an education, girls in countries with limited social services are more likely to enter forced marriages at a young age. With education, they are empowered to follow their dreams and better their economic situation, lessening their chances of being forced into oppressive situations. Additionally, putting girls in school boosts their communities’ economy.

Girls Rising has helped people in countries including Guatemala, India and Kenya. Your help will impact the lives of many girls and provide them with the resources they need to gain an education and subsequently jumpstart their future.
